...Moments of despair
clash
in the absence of light
Thoughts whirl
and swirl and
dive
into the depths of what
was thought
a safe place for
sanity
A sleepless journey
into moonless
wanderings
under the waning strength
while the waters
rise to a choking point
Believing is a
burden
when daylight is but another
illusion...

Six years of haunted light, he still couldn't figure out the reason why he was born upside down. Maybe he was too young to understand. It wasn't his choice to be here but... who is to blame?

...The side streets
tell another story
far worse
than the promises
of those who
govern...

...The urban jungle seemed too crowded with greed. Perhaps the right to live is a privilege not all can afford. Fate it seems is cruel... or maybe it's just man. He heard another growl from his stomach...

...Dwellers
of the underground
are guilty of the crime
fed by hunger
But not all is a
criminal...

...Dreams never tread the world of sleepless nights. He had been waiting for one but the cold ground never gave way for comfort. He stared at the stars with drowning eyes. If only...

...Dignity
and the very concept of it
has been redefined
to fit those who dine
Perhaps
the world is
indeed
selfish...

Mere words
lifeless
until they come in
to light
for what seems an enigma

...Transgression
of the usual trance...

A vivid distance
between boundaries
and freedom
Contradiction of
clashing thoughts where
complexities are never
complicated after
the whispers
echo
in a silenced
heartbeat
Perfection of a higher state
beckoning from the spiraling world of
poetry...

...Masses
of coincidental thoughts
raging against the
corrupted sun
Enough is
enough!
Time to breakaway
from the chains
of the greed of
the tyrant
Truth is freedom
and the fuel
of an absolute flame
and we are
the soul of
the slingshot
in the sovereign rule
of a Goliath
system...

...There was
once
upon a time when
man and beast
plowed the lands
with their raw strength
and the ability to
accept the fact
that life
isn't fair and they
never complained
until the age of the black crows
came
Perhaps transition
was too fast that we often
forget that we are
alive
because of those
who dance
under the
rain...

The ground was heavy and the air was dense. Time clashed with logic to pull the sun up again. She breathed heavily while broken thoughts lingered inside her chest. All she wanted was to understand...

...Crowded streets
and empty rooms
intertwine
with everyday life
The sun may be golden
but it doesn't always
shine...

...Despite the obvious reason behind her strength, she descended into the depths of a blackout doubt. Succumbed by something that felt like the lacuna in her breath, she looked at the hazy afternoon sky while she awaited the dark...

...Even the sky
wear masks
not to hide the imperfect
but to conceal
the one thing
that would make it
real...

...The dissonance in her head was from the void within a moonlit anguish. She thought it would rain but never expected the nightmares of the cold. She desired for a midnight fire...

...Bridges
fill up the gap
but loose ends
are not meant to be tied
when reasons
become
selfish...

"...God save us!" That's what's written on a ***** wall down the alley of a forgotten heaven. Though she was too young to understand the real essence of the phrase, it sounded like a plea hanging by its neck. She held her headless doll tighter...

...The Creation
of heaven on Earth
was necessary
It was never about
believing
but following...

...Salvation is but a prayer of those who are in despair. Who will save us? She knew nothing about this and all that mattered was the growing hunger. The sky was dark and grinning with lightning...

...He had been sitting
on top of the world
for as long as time
can remember
Fear
is his gospel...

...She had lived long enough with misery but not long enough to see the skies relieved of its burden. Who is God? That was the last thing she had thought before they butchered her for her flesh...

"...Divide and Conquer"
the thought
becomes a living entity
Feed those
who have
with those
who have
none...
"There's a monster residing in every society..."
