What do you seek in the mass?
The attuned motion that curves
Around side by side
Delineating their destiny
In the theater of absurd

What do you seek in the mass?
A swathe of saving graces
Carrying their eternal promises
In the city of tender corpses
Buried beneath an oblivious force

What do you seek in the mass?
The fate of slain horses
In the battlefield of haunted roses
That goes beyond their cardiac
For centuries and never to depart

What do you seek in the mass?
The toil, the foil, and the turmoil
Seething in their sweat
Chattering in their voice
While they are plunging
Into the life of rat race

What do you seek in the mass?
The anime, romance, the tragedy
That copiously fashions in the maze
Of their felonious and fancy lair

What do you seek in the mass?
A rocking song that has just
Been declared hit on the billboard chart
Stealing and tearing their life tale apart!

What do you seek in the mass?
A stunning flash mob of Hollywood
DC villains, super heroes flying
Across the city, waving their ****** facade

What do you seek in the mass?
A wily wizard that has just
Cashed out claps and whistle
Disappearing the card with a whoosh!
Like the stock market's liquidity *****

What do you seek in the mass?
Renaissance, Enlightenment, Restoration
But dishing out the corporate incantation
That life is a balanced machine to grind out
The expectation, lies and savagery
Generation after generation as a form of art

What do you seek in the mass?
The treachery, hatred and bloodbath
Cloaked in colossal sympathy
For the Avengers’ destruction of
The planet with a bunch of psychopaths

What do you seek in the mass?
An undying army to create
A phantom of God
To wreak an epidemic havoc
To beleaguer the lasting legacy of
Their abiding cause!

Then sir you are not aware
That the monstrosity of your desire
Dulls listlessly in front of
Masses’ impregnable power

Masses can be deplorable
But Masses can also be inimitable
Masses are sometimes ineffably imperfect
But, have you witnessed the popular rage?
That the mass wildly celebrates
To collectively boo you off the stage!

Masses are like a giant rocking ship
Thudding against the water balloon
In the Tsunami or the Apocalypse

Masses are like Mountain
To be climbed by those
Only who can maneuver
The feast of dangers
Lurking at every corner

Masses are the lunar eclipse
That can darken the sunlight
Or leaving a glowing ring of fire
Making the night sky a celestial shower

What do you seek in the mass?
To preach your glorious shambles
Dripping from your moistened mumbles
To lace the crowd languidly
Into your gibberish laden with fumbles

What do you seek in the mass?
Bureaucracy, constitution, government
Popping up the same slogans
That, “we are not with the ****”
But to show the mass how woeful
The raucousness of your loss
Have become!

You can’t negotiate with the masses
Let alone terrorize them with gases,
Mother of all bombs or gun lashes
Beware of their ability to ****** away
The freedom from the jaws of
Slavery and social deaths!

In case you have so frivolously forgotten
Remember that mass can morph into a genius
Facing the nemesis weighing on their weakness!
Also bethink that mass can permeate in flock
Through the craft of your legendary clock
To unleash their carefree act of violence

Mass is rather the nature’s deity that devises all the miracles
Behold the majesty of The Mass when it casts off all shackles.
