The things that matter in life


Today I woke up wondering and dreaming about the important things in life, the value we should give to all those important things and I asked myself if it would be a good idea to try to write something about this.

But to give it a poetic and interesting touch, try to awaken the importance of the things in life, creating the opposite, pointing out things that are not important or making important things see as things that really are not important.

That is, to create this type of art that I'm going to show you, this type of publication, I tried to highlight everything that is not important, play with this duality to make people think about what really matters.

And the things that matter in our lives are precisely these basic things, like adequate food, shelter, health, air, water, these are all things that really matter to us.

So, based on this, the idea of constructing an anti-poem that talks about all the contrary things and all the things that are important in life, but breaking all the rules of things, was proposed to me, the idea crossed my mind. which would be precisely a poem, because taking into account that a poem, for it to break all the rules, does not have to have a formal structure, you must use prosaic language.

While a poem uses poetic and figurative language, it should not deal with a traditional or conventional topic, but rather a banal or absurd topic, which is a bit difficult to achieve with this type of topic.

It must break with the expectations of those who read it and well, it has to be experimental, experiment with different techniques and literary resources and with what I am going to show you, I try to do it.

So without further ado, here I present to you what I have managed to write.

In the fucking kingdom of the opposite, I live, with my poetry that doesn't follow any rules, not even in the world! I come to talk about the five important things to live, in this world of chaos where everything can be screwed without existing.

The air, that shit you breathe, necessary to not expire, Without it you suffocate, what a novelty! What a vital thing. So make sure you don't inhale contaminated poop, because if not, you're going to be screwed and life will be complicated for you.

Water, that damn drink that we all need, If you don't drink, you get dehydrated and sweat in your pants. But don't worry, swallow any shit you find, Totally, it's just water, what could be wrong with it? many surprises await you!

Food, that thing you put in your mouth to survive, Eat whatever, it doesn't matter if it's garbage or something to be discovered. A balanced diet is for the weak, eat a variety of garbage, So your body is going to be screwed and your health is going to shit, what a fantastic move.

Shelter, that which protects you from the fucking weather and temperature, look for any shit to cover yourself with, what a fantasy! It doesn't matter if it's a hole or a fucking forgotten corner, Totally, as long as the state does not fall on you, you will feel lucky.

Medical care, that thing that saves your skin when you're screwed, but what the hell, better wait until everything passes, how fun. Don't go to the doctor, that's for worried faggots, Let the illness consume you, totally, it's just an issue that you haven't cared about.

So here you have it, in this vulgar and sarcastic poem, the five important things to live, how fantastic!

In this world of disorder and chaos, life is redefined, and in this fucking poetry, my sarcasm slides and shines, like a fifth-rate movie in a bad theater!
