#Democracy is the only system of government which shows without any reasonable doubt that the majority has chosen a narcissistic psychopath as a leader.

The day before the end of the world,
I prayed for a companion till the end,
Good gods misconstrued that as #abstraction of the end,
Bad gods took it as gallows humour.

To #survive I left
All that I used to call life.
Maya, anyway.

Yesterday, a cousin hanged herself.
For an hour, it was all about her.
For 30 minutes, we accused her spouse.
For 10, her kids. M-in-law, of course.
Lowered our heads,
Watched reels on mobile,
Noted callertunes not prayers,
Was hers Mission Impossible or Total #Recall?

What was I thinking
When all seemed #achievable?
Some flicker of luck, probably,
Dreams of grandeur too,
Did I hope my life would
Allow that which others get?

“But there could be...”
“Others? Last one was a poet. Tender soul. #History feeds him stories, the present’s a grief and the future’s non-existent. He strives for penury. For freedom’s sake, his emotions revolve around his words.”
“Wouldn’t life be better with him?”

15 relatives, 4 friends, 1 enemy and 3 unexpected at my funeral.
The enemy stands next to my love. Hand in hand.
Would have made sense if they had killed me.
One of those 3 did that.
Love #unseen? A hate
Inexplicable? Is it
Indifference? Damn!

23 politicians killed. In 8 countries.
Left without the soul. That's not in the forensic report.
But, soul-dead they were.
Alive but lifeless. What's new?
They left #ash sans fire.
The killer is an alien.
Did they start with the easiest targets?
