Wandering Souls and Aimless Minds

The nights of emptiness,
Nights of Pollution,
Sound, Light, Dirt, Gunk;
Dark, Gory, respiratory responsibilities,
Puff of a smoke or last breath out of an Oxygen mask?

The will to live, to fight, to survive;
Or the undeniable question -
Why are we here?
Existential dread, Loneliness and Mist
Clouding the emotions or just let it bleed?


Masking, mirroring, greetings of love
Dreading, trudging the path to love
Grim and gory flights of fancy
Disconnectedness that brings harmony
Stupidity or Chivalry? Clairvoyance or Traditions? Path-breaker or Path seeker?

The wild unknown and mysticism aplenty
Gritty nuttiness and splendor trendy
Trident fork in the road
Apathy and diarrhea
The road to my thoughts or words of my lunacy?

Magick and Revelry

Friends, Synchronicity, Harmony and Peace - sustenance for life or life itself? A reversal of fortunes illuminates the need. Leading the way is loneliness. Thoughts wander and the mind becomes a cage. "Is there no way out of the mind?" Sylvia cried! Inevitable dread and drudgery creep in. Nostalgia fuels insomnia. A world around us and yet no one. It is the death's kiss.

What then does enjoyment of solitude mean? Synchronicity is sought within. Soul, Mind, Body, Heart - are all these one in an individual entity? The perplexing mind versus brain phenomenon ensues and we are left searching for answers. Complexity mirrors perception. Once again, stuck inside our minds. The plight is indescribable. What then does love thyself stand for?  The rest of our lives are starting now and we hold the magick pen to make it happen. When the idea takes permanence self love begins.

Dancing to life's beck and call and never following our tune. Not knowing is the greatest curse. Social Media - Check, News - Check, Gossip - Check. Soul check? Check in with oneself? Blank. Mindfulness is pioneering. Dependability declines and reliance steeps. Exponential graphs mirroring reality and decoding economics aside, productivity makes a splendid comeback.

The truth inextricably intertwined with luxury and privilege makes one an armchair intellectual. Discernment is layered. Gray areas abound. Who's truth is it anyway? That humanity lost its sense of justice a long time back is a well established fact. Then again Rumi says, "Beyond the fields of good and bad there is a field. I will meet you there." Subjectivity and our unwitting inability to comprehend it.



After sighs and pause comes the pregnant times. Ideas get thrown around. Action is attempted. On ground reality? It varies. It's myriad. My reality clashes with yours and our petty egos are crushed. Communication stops. Faces are ignored. Tonality affects psychic transactions. Transactional frequency goes for a toss only to find itself replaced by seeds of hatred. Lo and behold! A monster is created. Frankenstein or worse?

Catapulted into irreverent humor, cascading into freshness the ways roll out. One-by-one like soldiers or all at once like a Tsunami. A hurricane once told a mortal it fears the force of a powerful idea. Mortal laughed, disempowered. Hurricane triumphed. Human misery rocks on. Revelry continues too - living a happy life as a giant. It creeps in hollow, unsuspecting minds devoid of ideas. Where there is no place for resistance, irrational traditions create homes. These gnomes never leave. They are known to plague generations for centuries. They, too, are fatal.

Pivotal point or historic moments are few and far between. Distress and duress are ants manufacturing miles long hills exactly like the capitalists. Exaggerated realities and post truths dominate. Ours is a fractures universe yet we are all somehow criminals. Wisdom and the wise are fools nonetheless. In this dog-eat-dog universe none's the wiser. Let's throw our arms in the air, cry foul and quit. What's the point? Aren't we all just hamsters on a treadmill anyway?





LET'S MOVE!

Shall we eat cash then?
Or burn it to keep our bodies warm?
Should we plant oxygen -
somewhere on this barren planet -
Or farm it in space?

'Save Planet' says the pla-card
But killing animals is legal,
We are all in this together,
Isn't hypocrisy fun?

And how awesome does plastic feel?
Wrapped around a turtle's neck, deep in the ocean
What about the dead corals?
Washed out colors are still art

Burn a hole in our pockets
or burn the forests to the ground?
Suffer fools in elitism
or revert back to community?

Fake, Shallow, Empty minds
Corrupted by Capitalism
Pseudo-Intellectual Hippies
with Arm-Chair Activism

Beach bodies yet no beach
Yoga camps with no mental peace
Plastic bottles in an environmental protest
"I can't stand a dirty lizard, please tame the beast"

Hoarding tendencies and Social Media Stars,
Haul Videos and Influencers,
Can we make-up the environment?
Put a filter and make it pretty, please.

The aesthetics just don't work,
How can we shoot a video here?
No greens, no flowers, no colors left on Earth!
This just can't go on YouTube like this. Let's move to another planet?

Thoughts From Mental Wilderness

Lush green dewy leaves,
Moss covered floors,
Wilderness in my mind and
an ache in my heart

Did you hear?
The lungs are dead!
Did you feel?
The humanity die out

My spirit flies
through the ebbs and flows
Rites, Rituals, Prayers, Faith
Ashes on the ground

Are we writing herstory or is herstory writing herself?
The blank pages of time
Ruffled with crimes
Bespectacled audience jeering on

We are the circus,
We are the clowns,
Hello, Circus!
Hello, Clowns!

The flame gives way,
And darkness transcends,
Gory, gritty, edgy;
The world moves on

Dead, dying, decayed
All coming together
For the ultimate reckoning,
The ultimate fun

Judgment Day or Halloween?
Fact or Fiction?
Jury decides - At last!
Humanity is a crime.
