Envy Is Not Elusive

 Down to the last breath of righteous indignation.

A push to the shoulder and a shove at self-esteem.

Lips sealed- unspeakable the words which describe the state of mind. 

Unkind, a single stare, a glare and the words unravel meaningless drivel. 

Indifferent eyes take in the cries of an unjust outrage and who am I?

Who am I to contend with useless emotions?

Ego-dystonic

Intrusive thoughts invade,

not a frequent occurrence,

but haunting enough to displace

each sound emotion once enjoyed.

And An Empty Democracy

 I don't believe in superiority. 


Is there a choice but to follow blind campaigns?


You fly blind and know not what you do,

with the idea of authority 

and politicians being superior. 


They are men like the rest,

so-called heartless,

outdated men.


Potential rich men,

in the place of power,

that the collective voted for. 

Simpletons at each day's end.


There is no winning in a game of politics,

at most-there are shifts of power

and new abstract wars to fight.


Left or right, what does it matter?

They sink deeper into a dead ideology.

Conversations With Myself

 Circling my mind, 

I find a motion to express

a well-grounded distress.


In time everything fades,

moving out is moving on.


So what's beyond the gates of lost cities left behind?


I catch a glimpse of abandoned homes

which cross my mind over time.


A heart beat seats itself inside

each corner of quiet longing ease.


Houses to appease each of our needs,

and the value of a moment is the difference

between chaos and peace,
