Even peace has a price
As we go down the drain
One of the biggest signs
That the bad guys reign

Company Policy

I actually agree with you
And I’d admit that too
If I weren’t an operator
Working at a call center

Half / Self

As far as soul’s concerned
The most accurate combo

Weakness, flam and limbo

Stop Writing
labyrinth Dec 2022
First, there were oligarchs
I might as well stop writing
People tend to think otherwise
But, second is yet to come darling

Willful deafs and/or blinds

Hoping
Without coping

With intense idiocy

Fatal Error
labyrinth Dec 2022
They call me insensible
Selfish even
Because they think
When you smile
I don’t care
If the rest of the world cries
What they don’t know is
There’s no way I’ll know that
Because when you look happy
The whole world smiles
For thousands of miles

Actual Lies
labyrinth Dec 2022
This is not Orwell’s novel. Yet
We are in holes like the rabbit
Truth’s lost its tie with the fact
Lying is a governmental habit

What Love
labyrinth Dec 2022
You folks keep talking about love
While I keep seeing the lack of it
Don’t y’all see in witness thereof
Souls hurt souls for the heck of it

Ignorant’s measure
For gauging the life

Hence the selfishness level

Climate Change
labyrinth Nov 2022
Clouds know how to show
Winds know why to blow
Trees know when to shed
Rivers know where to head

Animals know what to do
Ocean knows why it’s blue
Nature reveals a fine lesson
For eye to see and ear to listen

Perfect harmony and insight
Mother nature’s always right
Terra’s ever been so aware
It’s us who’s never been fair

Proposition

Few occidents and an evil runt
Have led to the Ukrainian front

kinds of thieves
labyrinth Oct 2022
steal a TV
they’ll call you a burglar
rob a bank
they’ll call you a robber
rip off big, so big,
i mean, enron big
lehman brothers big
big as a.i.g. for instance
they’ll call you corporate america
instead of naming a penance
or giving you the deserved sentence
they’ll further compensate
with an unprecedented rebate
i won’t get a chance to complain
it’s your game and this is your domain

A bad fate for poet, anyway
A call for an urgent diligence

With inner flame
Crop of pursuit
Will be but, lame

We, The Humans
labyrinth Sep 2022
Wise enough to keep their hive
For years multiplied by millions
Dinosaurs managed to survive
Without any troubles. Brilliant!

Via technological, industrial
And as well idiotic nose-dive
In several hundred millennials
We hit the finish line of our drive
Sep 2022 · 114
Complacency
labyrinth Sep 2022
A tatty, worn-out hose
And a teeny-tiny garden
Will take off, I suppose
Most the world’s burden

Misconception

That time per se heals
It, at best, prepares you
For fresh ***** deals

Greeds are so fat
It’d be much better
On a different diet

Without you I’m freezin’
With you forever at ease
Yet, you’re the sole reason
For my incurable disease

Oxygen

A heart that’s broken
Needs more oxygen

Defined by your depth

Must change once for all
Because the current one
Is but a big shopping mall

Mission In Life
labyrinth Aug 2022
Most don’t even try
How can they face it
Rush blinders block the eyes
Tell me, who’s gonna chase it

Capitalism

If you neither became rich
Nor found a rich spouse yet
You’re then the system’s *****
Get used to the idea of debt

Supposition
labyrinth Aug 2022
Killing time in our dark, tiny cells
Before we even know ourselves

We think we know a lot about
The varied mysteries of life

We don’t know ****, really
We’re just hit by it, literally

Why Am I Not A Poet

When I’m writing poems
I hastily think I got-’em
The deadliest mistake
That I witlessly make

A Matter Of Caliber
labyrinth Jul 2022
I never was a worthy plectrum
Yet you were a fine instrument
Cruising in your solar spectrum
I got sunstroke to my detriment

My Love Story

You were not a weather-fend
Still, I followed your course
Then, we reached a dead-end
Where all feelings got hoarse

Truth

My mouth’s speaking
Doesn’t mean a thing
Unless the said is heard
Loud and clear by a third

Stay in the hood
Safe and secure
A potential good

Trippin’
labyrinth Jul 2022
Got wasted
Fell on the sun
****-naked
It wasn’t fun

More than tipsy
On a balloon
Saw the gypsy
Crashed the moon

Dipped his feet
In a crater lake
Non-stop drumbeat
Heavy headache

Before him, parked
Was witches-broom
The day was marked
By magic mushroom
