PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

still awaiting

the canonization of Henry Miller

& the boisterous confirmation

of the simple joy of life

and I’m feeling alienated

as the days go by

and meaningless tasks

present themselves to me.

Tedium ad nauseum

but my Latin won’t cut it

and the hopes slip away

in spite my desperate grasp

The threats of war

and the horror of terrorists

but also the demise of the dream;

the quickly enabled erosion

of the rights and liberties—

the pawns are moved

to the front lines

quickly slaughtered

in dirty political games
