[Abstract Parenting]
Chandy Feb 2021
In her delusions
Truth shows itself
Rearing an ugly head
Alongside intense guilt
To reveal tremendous suffering
By the hands of those
Who brought them here.
Feb 2021 · 105
[Unseen Terror]
Chandy Feb 2021
During pure paranoia
The most prominent features
Do not have to be visible
Feb 2021 · 121
[Deep Sea Tracing]
Chandy Feb 2021
Tough waters
Full of mystery
In the forbidden depths
Lies history
Feb 2021 · 94
[Have a Heart]

Poor in mind
Rich in soul
Widely concluded
To be better than most
Feb 2021 · 80
[Business as Usual]
Chandy Feb 2021
Considerable outrage
Suits some situations
Yet those who exploit it
Wear the suits
Feb 2021 · 90
[Human Limitations]
Chandy Feb 2021
Blood and bones
Flesh like honey
Attached to the earth, by a stem
Gravity
Feb 2021 · 123
[More than a Valentine]
Chandy Feb 2021
Love
Action
The most compassion
Restricted to 24 hours?
How about 8760 hours?
Feb 2021 · 163
[Both the Same]
Chandy Feb 2021
Carved my own path
You followed your way
But in the aftermath
Which will make history?
Feb 2021 · 79
[Conquering the Clowns]
Chandy Feb 2021
Manipulate the masses
To reach a state of numbness
Dulling a country
To take it over
Feb 2021 · 105
[Unspoken Force]
Chandy Feb 2021
I am not afraid
Of the rambling man
Who has no filter
Speaks in rhyme
Proclaiming the clouds
Are diamonds in the sky
I am only afraid
Of what drove him mad
If it claimed one
When will it claim many?
Feb 2021 · 119
[A Debt Paid]
Chandy Feb 2021
Father, go there
The troubles are over
Go up there, please
Show up, no more hiding
I'll wait for you
At the beach covered in minerals
Feb 2021 · 94
[Devoid]
Chandy Feb 2021
The cave
Has been "the cave"
Ever since my first year
...
How would it feel
To not have a name?
Feb 2021 · 80
[Encaged and Enraged]
Chandy Feb 2021
Closure of a terror campaign
Which first opened
To those behind bars
For they lost all things
And are cursed
To enter a world with nothing
Feb 2021 · 95
[Permanence]
Chandy Feb 2021
Abandoned
Even betrayed
They say it all gets better
Until the torment returns
Feb 2021 · 85
[Asleep]
Chandy Feb 2021
Shoplifting the dreams
Of a nation cursed to sleep
Never to awaken
Once aware
Prepared to be cut out
A voice behind a broken megaphone
Waiting for a patient view
While the intellect sails across the sea.
Feb 2021 · 80
[Limited Options]
Chandy Feb 2021
Consider what you are
One who is able-bodied in life
Knows their place
Even when it is displeasing
We may have choice
But not over all things.
Feb 2021 · 92
[Ego]
Chandy Feb 2021
You need to be careful
With your relation
To the subconscious
Or your true self
May soon live elsewhere
Feb 2021 · 88
[Examining Existence]
Chandy Feb 2021
Examine all cultures
Learn about their principles
Of loyalty
Honor
Respect
Dignity
Learning a fraction about life
Can piece together
A clearer picture
Feb 2021 · 132
[Always Moving]
Chandy Feb 2021
Just because I cannot
Doesn't mean I should not
Feb 2021 · 113
[Cycle of a Cycle]
Chandy Feb 2021
Alone
A cycle remains
Together
The cycle still remains
For it was orchestrated for years
By those
We have never known
Feb 2021 · 101
[Anthem of Humanity]
Chandy Feb 2021
Words are forgotten
Actions are remembered
Hence why the most change
Comes after disaster
Feb 2021 · 98
[Suffering to Live]
Chandy Feb 2021
I weep for humanity
The pain
The sorrow
The heartbreak
The bloodshed
Cold realities
Unearthed from years of living
I wish, one day, we could no longer suffer
But, to live is to suffer
And to suffer is to live
Feb 2021 · 114
[Coming and Going]
Chandy Feb 2021
When you meet for the last time
No one knows
It will be the final one
Feb 2021 · 160
[Tale as old as Time]
Chandy Feb 2021
Some are introduced
To revenge
Then, are they not an eponymous fool?
By war or vendetta
Brothers
Sister
By blood or tree
...
Revenge cares not for thee
Feb 2021 · 155
[Distant Drifting]
Chandy Feb 2021
Separation
Often cares for the object
Of pain and nostalgia
Chandy Feb 2021
Behind that splendid plain
Ice, piled high
A midnight sun, resting on top
Like a silhouetted candle
It may be cold
But it has never been so inviting.
Feb 2021 · 108
[Gone Once Spoken]
Chandy Feb 2021
Looming over objects
Coming into view
It was once buried deep
And dies once referred to
But today, it was found
Unearthed near a shallow basin
What is it?
A secret.
Feb 2021 · 119
[Crash Landing]
Chandy Feb 2021
Falling down
With no floor
To carry me
When will I come down?
And

[Little America]
Chandy Feb 2021
Awaiting an answer
Keen anticipation
Founded in curiosity
Yet when the answer is known
It is not the truth
But someone else's truth
...
What has happened?
Feb 2021 · 87
[Decay of Standards]
Chandy Feb 2021
Colonial customs
Have not evolved
For we put stock on community
Without bearing witness
To communion
Feb 2021 · 107
[Going South]
Chandy Feb 2021
Driving south
A carefree pilgrimage
Thousands do it
Such freedom
Such pleasure
No goal in sight
But to leave behind
A world turned to stone
Feb 2021 · 81
[Everywhere I Go]
Chandy Feb 2021
Everywhere I go
There's always something to remind me
Of another time
One where happiness bloomed in a cycle
Now it goes where the willows lay
One day, fine
Another day, struck down
Jan 2021 · 209
[Pressure]
Chandy Jan 2021
Pressure is direct
Both by influence and force
So, these adolescent tendencies
Become susceptible to industry
Jan 2021 · 103
[In the Moment]
Chandy Jan 2021
Lakeside view
Frozen over by a layer of ice
A blanket of fog
Dancing with the air
It is cold, yet...
Is that a bad thing?
Jan 2021 · 129
[Behind the Scenes]
Chandy Jan 2021
A wonderful wonderland
Colossal depth
A center of wonders
When we learn how they work
The magic is drained.
Jan 2021 · 78
[Crossing the Line]
Chandy Jan 2021
Killing each other
Requires the prerequisite
Of killing our selves
Jan 2021 · 103
[Finding Paradise]
Chandy Jan 2021
Paradise
Like succumbing to a spell
Touring heaven
Jan 2021 · 131
[Safeguard the Future]
Chandy Jan 2021
Later years
Could be happy
Could give up
Could rest
Could be productive
When that time comes
Invest in peace and security.
Jan 2021 · 81
[Discordant]
Chandy Jan 2021
Birth of revolutions
Develops internally
Used to start with steel
Now, it starts with discourse
Jan 2021 · 69
[The Beholder]
Chandy Jan 2021
Skillfully
Looks are lovelier
With dazzling humanity
Jan 2021 · 291
[Doomed]
Chandy Jan 2021
Doomsday predictions
All the possibilities are fiction
Yet I fear for the day
When one rings true
Jan 2021 · 76
[Conspired to Remember]
Chandy Jan 2021
Conceptual conspiracies
Originate with hate and distrust
For when something is important
No coincidence, a planned event
No accidents, a coordinated fight
Once something lives in mystery
It will forever be tied to history
As a legacy
Jan 2021 · 281
[Nothing New]
Chandy Jan 2021
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Just a coat of paint
On the same outdated structure
Jan 2021 · 546
[Out of Place]
Chandy Jan 2021
Locations crafted by humanity
Fit one time
One function
Hence why we get uncomfortable
At a quiet school
An empty mall
If it's the exact same-
Why does it make us feel small?
Jan 2021 · 348
[Close Together]
Chandy Jan 2021
Hope
Despair
Both apples
Fallen from the same tree
Jan 2021 · 103
[Tunnel]
Chandy Jan 2021
In a world
Full of darkness
The light has abandoned us
It's up to ourselves
To make a new light
Artificial, but functional
Jan 2021 · 139
[Action Required]
Chandy Jan 2021
The more a problem is pointed out
A greater divide occurs
For the way to prevent injustice
Is action, not words
Jan 2021 · 295
[Quiet Time]
Chandy Jan 2021
For some
It is easier to suffer silently
As opposed
To being ridiculed
By persistently fake positive tendencies
Jan 2021 · 268
[Silent Guidance]
Chandy Jan 2021
Once you ask for advice
And get no answer
It is silent guidance
Filtered by experience
Jan 2021 · 608
[The Fallen Flag]
Chandy Jan 2021
Red
White
Blue
Starry night on a canvas
What does it mean?
I once knew, now
I no longer know.
