Doing Whatever It Takes

-Doing Whatever It Takes- by Keaton Foster



This is such an instant
Crushing expression
Of the human condition
Spelled out for you to read.

Written by me because of a need
Desperately wanting to be heard
To count for something beyond
All that has been deemed absurd.

A desire to count for something greater
Than myself or all that I could ever hope
These words are my weapons
Dangerous afflictions of potential understanding
That will slam around inside your head.

They will change your perfect little dream
Into a reality based construct
That no matter what
You will never be able to escape.

Understand these words if you wish
Turn from them if you must
You are always doing whatever it takes
To such a concept I can easily relate
I myself have always done the same.

I have no regrets
How could I ever dare
I am a man, a beast, all creature
Playing a dangerous game
Survival at any price.

I will feel no sorrow for you
I would never cry a tear
If anything that I have penned
Cracks the conformity of your ways.

I will lend you no sympathy
Because you and I are absolute strangers
I simply cannot be concerned with you
Because I am far too consumed with myself.

Your ideologies are certainly unlike mine
The clever ways in which you pretend
To understand in order to fit in
Concerns a man like me most of all.

I worry that you don't know
And if you had the chance to
You would refuse because you
Are afraid of what it might all mean.

I would blast the trumpets in excess
If I was not so inclined to be silent
If I was not so determined to remain
As an unspoken advocate for our kind.

I let my silent words speak to the level
That is required for all to hear
With any level of clarity
What it is I am trying to say.

Continue doing whatever it takes
Because I know that you will
So will I, so will our entire species
Survival of the fittest or in our case
Continuation of the sickest.

I am well aware that you are
A blatant representation
of all that I am not
And all that I could never be.

I know that I should individually identify
You long before I make such a
Blanket statement of indictment
But I certainly have not even tried.

However be assured of this
I know more than most
Way down in the deepest depths of my soul
That we, you and I, are most human of beings
Suffering from a very similar set of afflictions
And a cavalcade of equally frightening contradictions…
