Nature and It’s Might

Seized, the dynamic constellation seems to thaw
Pathetic thoughts of immortality and never-ceasing love
Billboards align each other across the whore filled streets
These men strive on the ego-feasting women that creep
Smog is clotted in the city with blue skies and white clouds.

Hatred aside agony –both—flirting with sorrow
The endeavor to create a sort of transition
A transition to change the world!
Yet sweat, blood and tears drool in the city sewers
Alas, another day of  fresh air and  happy people

Trust... –what? --Don’t dare speak such a word
A sacred sin blessed by the hell’s below to speak
Such a foul, worthless word – a spoken by the two faced
In this region of the universe, trust is not inevitable
Friendly hellos cruise the city’s alleyways…

All what is seen is incompetent spices in The “Flavored” House
They speak to stop war yet a rule of true wisdom states
“To bring peace we must fight”, yet all what is done
Is handful checks delivered to snobby children’s mansions?
Day begins to fall to night, as the stars beg to twinkle its might

Pathetic, on how we see the world as an escape of our own world
Fantasy soon will not be a delusion, it will be freedom but --
In the end, we are all captives of captives, mangers of mangers
Presidents of presidents… freedom? Speaking such a word?!
Death is the clouds and the sky is us, and frankly…
I have never seen the sky so cloudy before.

    Very thought provoking write here, Sami ... best of luck to you with your TWO (!) selections as a "first round survivor" ... smile ... the really sad part about the environment is most of us won't be alive when it gets really bad ... some legacy for our grandchildren ...

    "People" bring war on themselves. "People" censor themselves. We are the whores.

    WOW what a powerful comment on our current society !! I've never thought of prostitutes as being ego-feasting however ... I think most have really low self-esteem ... maybe you meant ego-feeding as in boosting the man's ego ... smile ... maybe .... LOL ... anyway, Sami this is a wonderful write and a well-deserved feature here at the Soup. Congratulations!!

    You've been visiting Washington again, Haven't you. Gloomy forecast. Sad but apparently accurate. We fight for peace, then we may as well have a couple of bottles of liquor for sobriety or a giant buffet for healthy eating. Great write, Sami. Congratulations on having it featured. Vince

    Much for the reader to think about. The vivid imagery conveys your thoughts in a powerful way. I really like how you ended this poem. Keep on writing! Karen

    this is like urban poetry, almost, I like the aura you create here, even if it is a bit creepy, that makes the poem stronger.
