Amidst

Standing in the midst of the crowd
Feet touch the sidewalk 
Hustle and bustle - loud
Is my voice heard when I talk?

Order out of chaos
Oxygen - constant breathing 
All in search of something lost
Great Pendulum - ever swinging

Eyes meander; thoughts pass over
Like feathers in a dance
Some brush over my shoulder
By some random chance

Oblivious, Unaware
Ghosts; Zombies; Machines
Nothingness in their stare
Never tasting Being

Who can even see
Who do not see themselves?
Do I have to bleed
For my words to hit their shelves?

Madness

                                                                  I've dreamt of this day                    The day when I could say                                                              "To hell with it!"

Insatiable Appetites

Do you think me pleased? Why should I be? How can I hide My wrath from thee? I cannot fit your meter My rhythm rules to-day. Your snub-nosed convention Is repugnant anyway. Why do I keep giving  These People a chance To realize they are performers In a malignant dance? I keep thinking they'll learn To stretch their narrow views Yet their ears are closed. What is the use? Do you really think Nothing matters in the end? Are my words meaningless? Wisdom dissolves in The Wind. And so ere it goes. From Age to Age. You'd think you'd learned your History Yet you can't even bear one Page.  So now off I go Once again to the underground. All of these fucking imbeciles Mindlessly prancing around. Annihilation is their guide. That's the nature of the Beast -  Listening to bloodthirsty maniacs They long for their feast. You think you possess The Eye of Eternity? You are blindfolded By your own merciless depravity! You take your aim Through the scope of the sniper. Merrily you go...

Public Enemy

I lived within those walls over there The ceiling - they called it “sky” They said, “The Maker creates order Why would you bother asking ‘why?’” Daily happy music resounded From speakers placed on each street Day in and day out - nothing new Everything positioned so nice and neat The houses there were all alike So eloquently symmetrical Clichés & memes filled the air No space for anything dialectical But curiosity goaded me anyhow “What is this Being within this skin?” “Tis’ selfish to ask,” they gnarled, “It might lead thee to sin!” I travelled till I could go no further Where I saw a hidden door I opened it and to my surprise Was a world I’d never known before Fruits of the trees tasted sweeter Than those which I grew accustomed  I looked back and asked myself “How could I ever again trust them?” Then, I felt sad and thought with hope, “Perhaps, I can show them what I’ve found! If they could see the sky, hear the wind, Feel the soles of their feet on the ground!” Gleefully, I...
