To watch paint dry (original work)

Deep inside madness
I would rather watch
paint dry
than pursue happiness;
the million dollars

The most interesting conversations
happened within the echoes
of my personal thoughts
staring at this wall
watching the white paint dry

O how ignorant living really is
no thoughts of an imagined
"greater good"
Just how to make the next buck
and how to get the easiest
****

Is this all life really is?
To think with your wallet
and act with your dick?

I'll just let my mind
think of the paint that dries
'cause that's how the world really is
dry
