#discontentment
It always goes something Like Cold, to warm, to hot, To burning. Is that how it is? That’s what I’ve been Observing. From conflict, To fight, To war, To catastrophe, Sure, it could be a Better analogy. But still, From cloud, to Drizzle, to Rain, to Storm, It always comes Crashing down at the top. From best, to Good, to Fine, to Worst. You reach the peak, Just to fall to the bottom Of Earth.

Ascension
Lowly, ornery moments, viciously crusade Whispering damnable, through tempestuous winds Seeking the core being of auspicious people To wreck the wholesomeness they hold Without merit; without claim; only with lurid enmity These satirical shadows lurking Crave our every fallen promise Of living a full life of exemplary character So they can manipulate susceptible thoughts For their own ghoulish behaviourism The tacky underhand played by cruel intentions Mystifies the drunken stupor of our senses Who strive to live abjectly without fear In the torrid aftermath of our foolishness Are left the maudlin remnants of our self-esteem When harmony within us is weak Tomorrow is left to renew The rambunctious craze of melancholia Hiding behind contemptuous eyes of disturbia Propensely echoing through our minds

Echoes of Disturbia
The winter of our discontent Became the spring of fury Only to end in the summer of docility Because limits are bumped into As easily as frustrations are forgotten And as soon as the momentum has gone The passive majority will claim to have won The discontentment keeps on lingering Against the background of potential change But the status quo knows how to appease And puts the revolution back at ease The winter of our discontent Held the promise of history But ended, once more, in tame passivity

Winter of discontent/summer of docility
For every girl that is a woman Is a boy who is still a child Perceiving just as well as you do People tend to forget about you In the few minutes of infamy Trapped between two ages With no one to claw onto Expectations of the worst Are excavations of the past Perceiving just as well as you do People tend to forget about you You can only hope to see the light Before you lose your inevitable fight Taking the words out of my head To experience them Until bright skies turn dead And in this hindsight It shall be noted There is an empty shell for those Who wish to live a life of shows

Old Habits Destined For Eternity
What is it that holds the oceans back or makes the flowers bloom what is it that hangs with precision the sun and makes it to chase the moon What is it that makes us savor love and makes our minds to dream what gives a baby his first breath and just the right air to breathe What makes us long for something more Contentment, a school boy's crush We chase it around 'til we think it's cornered But it always escapes in a rush We're all searching for something deeper Something beyond our mortal power We won't find it in our vices Or atop the Ivory Tower I found the answers in eternal hope And everything unseen My treasures lie on the other side This life is but a dream

Contemplation
An avalanche of feelings Razes the pseudo silence Growing discontent In the deep caverns of life The silent demons Awakens from deep slumber To wreak havoc On the disguised perfect life Smiles of discontent Keeps the heart happy
