wine n dine
they say
faux sophistication
how pretty

oh culture, they say
but there's a price to pay
for the theatre show
endorse inclusion yet divide into rows

the stage is free
art they say
entertain me in exchange for pay

******* culture
deeper entrenched
day by day

isn't it peculiar?
we are politically correct
yet flawed in every way
shhhhh, that's not what you are supposed to say
Marsha Singh Nov 2011
Felt good to be warm. Felt good to find
somewhere quiet. Felt good to be ankle
deep in the river, to be knee deep in the
river. Felt good to get your hair wet. Felt
good to let the mud on your legs dry in the
sun. Felt good to dig your hands through to
cool earth. Felt good to close your eyes. Felt
good when he touched you just as a breeze
went hushhh through the trees. Smelled like
rain, and God, that felt good. It felt good.

The time will come
When I will become
A man of my word
And you'll be the one in dirt

Ignorance is your bliss
Thy nature of yours
Could burn you with a kiss

Fate will turn
The hatred will burn
Your ignorance will drench
And that day would be my revenge

I observe everything
But I don't say
Wish i could pull the strings
And make you pay

But what can you do
Of a peaceful soul
That only did the crime
To Love you as a whole

Don't say nothing
When it's something
But, Now I don't even care
Feels like you ain't even there.....
Vanity lights.
Production sets.
Heat on high.
Dim lit.
Fame is all in your head.

Truffles in the air.
Wine stained carpets.
Knife over the bed.
Lipstick bruises.
The low numbers aren't fair.

A throbbing migraine or two.
Smoke envelopes the halls.
Hushhh, play another lullaby.
Of course not all dreams come true.
There'll always be a new one, more than you.
.

Goodnight,
Hushhh...
Loving care...
Sleep tight,
Or a
night sleep
after a fight..

This night we slept together,
In morning you are gone..

Life's so unpredictable,
It's hardly decipherable,
Difficult to digest
You are gone,
We will never fight again,
We will never cuddle again,
We will never laugh together again,

Why, is life like this?
Why don't we both with expiry date?
Why are we not prepared for the worst?
Why do we have to live alone?

Wake up
Grab a Cup

A Fiend for the Caffeine
Happy Serotonin Going
Nothing but a Lush

Afternoon to Evening
Got my Dopamine Flowing
Man, what a Rush

Humming to a Slumber
Got the Melatonin Slowing
Down to a Hushhh

Pineal Gland in Hand
Got the Hormones Growing
Just about to Gush

Slip to REM and it's Fluid
Finding Zen almost Lucid
Abruptly dreams Concluded

Return to Send
Wake up!
Now do it all Again
Chemical chasing dystopian slaves
Big city racing after utopian craves

— The End —
