The mere fact that it is toxic,

challenges our sensibility to indulge,

and then either we pay the price

or are hooked.

A living scarecrow

05/23/2019

I am here
Where shall I park
Park yourself
In the fields

I find a spot
And tie myself to the cross
(bless me father,
for I sinned...
...cut it out
no hilarity,
this is work)
Early dawn
So glad I got my coat on

I see the sun rising
What an exhilarating scene
Sky exuding
Pastel yellow, orange and blue

Here comes the conspiracy
Or is it murders
I must Google how to
Differentiate between ravens and crows

They perch themselves
Firmly on me
To briefly rest
And steal from the field

This goes on for hours
As they also dutifully
Do their duty
On me

What the hell
With their talons
Digging into
My flesh

They can't tell
I'm real
So they go about
Happily

I'm more scared of them
Rather they of me
Well we all got to
Make do somehow

Today
I was a scarecrow
Who knows, what
Will I be tomorrow
I wanted to keep it light today

Where seeds of lies are deeply rooted
Truth finds little ground to germinate

Six Degrees of Motion
05/11/2019


Lost soul I am
In the sea of humanity

Six degrees of motion
Will face me anywhere

Roads are meant to travel
I lack direction, yet

Six degrees of motion
Will take me anywhere
A most advanced simulator rotates on six degrees of motion - a wheel within a wheel

Ignorance's Dilemma
05/20/2019


When ignorance devours the brain
Power of reasoning is abusive
If lacking the right questions to ask
The answers will always be illusive

Sliding Scale of Mercy
05/14/2019


Democracy - Almost half of the population is at the mercy of the majority
Autocracy - Almost all of the population is at the mercy of a few
Oligarchy - All of the population is at the mercy of one


Anarchy - none has the time to be merciful,
Abolish all forms of imposed authority
