Most People.....(Revised) Poem by RIC BASTASA

most people
live without ideals.

most people are poor
and their main concern
is what to eat today

and so from this premise
what necessarily follows

is that they do not
construct ideas and hence

they are not ideal and
idealism is not the concern

of their minds of their days
and night spent in nothing

but little pleasures to
propel them to live for

another day another useless
routinary struggle what to

eat what to bring what to
keep what to die for.
