The young are on the right path

 

I sleep so well now.

The young are on the right path.

They are like machines.

No soc m, no po*n,

No ciggie, not a foot wrong.

No joy, no freedom.

Nirvana from birth?

Will they kill their Frankenstein-

#Bountiful machines?

"She'll be with us."

 

I left before you were taken to the pyre.

Not a tear when your mum and I hugged.

I lied to her, "She'll be with us."

I saw your abuser but I didn't bash his face in.

They wanted us cursèd ghosts out of their #orbital.

In my cave, I laugh and scream, "She'll be with us."

bad luck

 

Long ago, I had the luck

To compare the #lambent sunrise

And the look you gave me.

Curled up against each other,

We forgot it's bad luck

To compare the sublime.

So long ago.

narcissistic psychopath

 

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

 

freedom

 

In the good ol' days, democracies chose leaders & governments that gave the masses the chance to say, "No one else has a bigger joker.".

Now, even democracies don't allow that freedom.

the prayer

 

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.

Maya

 

To #survive I left

All that I used to call life.

Maya, anyway.

suicide

 

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?

#vss365

dawn vs dusk

 

Matutinal hope

Ends with #vespertine prayer.

Waxing waning love.

#haiku #senryu ?

What was I thinking

 

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?
