What comes of addiction
a predilection
A two times round
the same intersection
looking for an accident
a reason to get bent
out of shape
out of mind
out of the mendacious ...
...daily grind
that keeps telling all of us
you must work hard
Smile all the while
that your life is shrinking
your passbook is sinking
deeper and deeper
underwater
Take 2 weeks off
the change will do you good
but you know that behind the smile there is guile
theres no chance
to remain complete
in the face of defeat
when you and yours are addicted
afflicted with ....
a silly need to eat !
With my death
My journey ends
Heaven or hell
I am done
Life, Death, Journey
If the days wont allow us
To see each other,
The memories will,
If my eyes cant see you,
My heart will
It's almost time to go home
It won't be long now
now the days grow lighter, my head is

tied back on, and all seems well.
I am a tiny elephant
riding my handsome donkey
into a wonderland of dreams
Leave aside your spiritual hunger,
There’s enough wisdom in generational ideals.
Leave aside your worldly exposures,
There’s enough comfort in familial misery.
Leave aside your vindictive allergies,
You’ll crawl for societal acceptance anyway.
Leave aside dark undertones & this poetic licence,
In spite, light breeds light every single day.
Time passed.
Only the words remained.
