The pompous richly dressed ones
And wonder what their founder would have thought
And then at...

Like the thrilling festive celebrations, when you open up pretty packages!

I took my work very seriously, and my motto had long been safety first,
Like waiting...

“Buyers Remorse, Karma Deserved”

Many voters are regretting their voting choice
Realizing they have stymied their voice
The voters on the right side of history
Will not join in their misery

Empathy will not be shared, nor will we gloat

Early October when the bomb went off,
Tearing us apart.
A brother here, a sister there.
Scattered across the globe.

Roots suddenly disappear.
Wandering to find them again.

Something to anchor me to life,
And something to pretend...

   Despite pogroms and holocausts, still quite alive

With a twist and a tilt of her head, it swallows her into its depth.
Fruitless and powerless, in its clutches,...

The thought of all trusts,

Was it all just rust?

The thought of all confidence,

Was it because of your insolence?

The thought of all friendship,

Was it all just dissonance?

Was it all just lies?

 

The thought of all immanence,

This morning, recollections...

This day I grow tired
and so incredibly weary.
My heart holds only dreams
of a Life unfullfilled
A Life not nurtured,
yet barely a glimmer
of the spirit that once was.

I do have memories of some things good 
-not all...

impossible mission to awaken
this comatose zombie
drugged horror - by potent

self manufactured narcotic -
oppressive tantalizing
nightmares indistinguishable
when supposedly conscious,
eyes cannot differentiate

dusky "reality" from
twilit zoned lifelike slumbers
confused with medication
induced hallucinations ferrying
me to lands unknown

fragrance of yesteryears distilled from heartache and joy

mixture of entropy and cohesion scented in hopeful aroma

	sweat from wanderlust of adventure

	fears contained and turned into vigour

with an unshakeable resolve that shall forever last
