maslow’s mashed potatoes and gravy


is maslow’s hierarchy the answer to anguish?

predominant thoughts everyone’s taught

self-actualized fully ripened apricots

 

i end the ascend

don’t even begin

the fulfillment

of the physiological

 

it’s all so logical

something’s not right

levels of plight

on an emotional evolutionary scale

 

unthinking shrink

syllabus sure

prescribe a cure

till the level’s level

at the next level

 

it’s been decreed

fulfillment of needs

starts with a seed

where you must determine

like lice on vermin

that you will proceed

on what’s been agreed

in context of wounds

from which you bleed

cause modern methods

remain ineffective

without bargain basement humanism

feeding consumerism

 

of what is right for you

singing the blues

that all truth is relative

 

hierarchy erased

simply replaced

with words,

“what do i want?”

the dangle and taunt

of all i should be

 

emotionally free

of their expectation of me

or meeting their expectations?

 

end the vexation

and be the location

that best suits the geographic

of where you truly wish to be
