In the Zen kingdom, where thoughts coincide.
Nihilism is a canopy of shade; it dares to confide.
A conflict between reason and meaninglessness.
The universe has wonders...

Stone of Nihilism 

Stained glass lies
Colored shards of broken truth
Puzzle pieces arranged in
Sanctimonious expression 
Designed to camouflage  falsehoods 
The perjury of Priests  
Disguised deceit in windows of brilliant rainbow hues
Lighted by a sunlight of fraudulent confession
Hypocrisy designed with  prismatic glass of fragile...

Poisonous toxin flowed into my veins.
transmitting a cold, apathetic nihilism.
We stumbled off the trail, you idiotic humans.
Our once-cherished pride is broken as a prism. 

Once we stood tall, our heads held high,
With hearts filled with hope and dreams,
But then came the venom,...

I felt the chaos like a capsule, small
It tumbled down my throat, dispersed throughout
To numb alert my body, I’d no doubt
Newborn idle entropy at sunfall
Senses are but half-blind court reporters
And memory’s known to give in to its whims
So man may doubt the gospels and the...

I solicit, can I be
your man, man of
dreams,
She smiled and
responds with
nihilism,

I startle with
embarrassment,
Nevertheless, she
kept on spiting with
criticism,

I lost and tears
bulged out from the
eyes,
Expel not this time
with pessimism,

In wonder and in
dilemma of bewilder
ness,
Fell down from edge
of optimism,

And truly I can only
yearn and pine,
Can’t I fetch her
with...

A core of nothing essential,
spinning around a void of irrelevance
Molten thoughts of lava movements ...
civilization crumbling, sand castles dissolving
Vesuvius pleasure nodes vibrating 
to the sound of igneous deconstruction
The societal matrix bond unraveling ...
all the colorful banner ants on the genome farm
keep gathering more excess technology...

The working Class Woe (nihilism)

If I were a working class boy living today in a big city,  with little interest in academic studies, 
I would have found little and no opportunities for work. For my grandfather it was more easy, 
back then the world...

a tasteless stone soup                                         ...

No amnesty, ISIS is a calamity, this insanity spreads with alacrity throughout 

humanity, no ambivalence, Congress has more say so than the President, without 

their permission his decisions become more hesitant, hidden measurements, self-

inflicts diluted commonsense, America never minds her business, she’s a terrorist 

within...

She was all lost;fantasized a world
On the bitumen ,none resembled her

Binnacles kept empty;let gusty waves guide her
Bid goodbye to a silent night under the mistletoe ;scrounging for serendipity

Stars were callous;she--- an embodiment of callowness ,distracted by camellia;could not find a way out of her perplexity

Deranged...

After a lifetime
(pronounced like millennium),
where tenacity futilely braced
psyche deeply purpled,
hellishly, and lethally
traced resulting scars -
jackknifed, emasculated
cruelly chaste

sexuality expired, lapsed,
and petered out testosterone
begone to waste,
and how this abased
bereft of eroded optimism,
nee faith no more - erased,
solitary carbon based animal
coalesced into countless

foreborn generations
(glommed *****sapiens
salient survival skills)
mortified,...

In shadow's tomb—
A dim, aimless flicker...
Void's grip, timeless 
claims all.

Fantomsound: life's song is just a cognition in the null.

Rain, pain—
Stardust, dust, flesh 
patternless on oblivions loom.

Decay's dance a molderwaltz,
Fingers grasp at phantoms 
no hope
Peace in the abyss's open arms. Not…

Unveiled—darkness, despair's shroud 
enigma's veil.

Hearts, no...

Why does he provoke me to anger?

He stalks among us -  with his song -
a wolf's grin

His inimicality beckons 
like a hawk's talons,
luring prey to certain death

Yet he imparts wisdom 
to those who bleed

Beware!

his insights twist 
like a pit of pepper x vipers;
devouring souls...

i am the man who weeps for the world
i am the man who weeps

i do not, I will not
bleed for the world
i’m not the one who bleeds

little sister, my love
do not dry your eyes on my account

i am a fleeting consolation

i have been
to the ends
of...

i've grown weary
of this story
growing
weary
of this frame
oh so weary
of this cosmos
in which I got this name

and I can't remember why I came

I'm fearful for the leaving
can't seem to quit the game
oh how I love this loathsome body
I carry with me night and day

and when I...
