Poem
Written: April 10, 2024 For Edward Ebeh Contest “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” — Rumi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In society grasp, individuals fade, As group dynamics falter, satiation wane. Anomie is the state in which we reside, Void of meaning, where shell may subside. Man dwells in the domain of existence, Longing for purpose—a tale to share once. He pursues punter goals, a noble quest, To descry his sanctuary, where he can rest. Sans clear vision—a peculiar goal to pursue, He wanders, devoid of any discernible clue. A protocol to follow—a structure to defray, He seeks a clear path to lead the way. It is in the heights—that he finds his worth, A divine connection, a sense of rebirth. In a world of mayhem, where chaos reigns, A sense of chaos and rebellion in our veins. We're in an era of disorder and hopelessness, Where a sense of alienation thrives with idleness. Streets brimming with an air of dread and fear, As the supremacy of law is starting to disappear. A land ruled by untamed and careless, Peace and order are baffling awareness. Durkheim unveils a modern, cosmic community, Where people or teams cease to have impunity, Stuck in a condition of "anomie," they dwell, Devoid of crucial social interactions, they tell. An individual, adrift, follows a restless tide, Planless self-empowerment with no guide. An aimless existence, devoid of worth, As delight lies in future, not in present berth. One ought to consider their inevitable fate. The insignificance and loneliness state. He would undoubtedly elapse insane. Or spirit might seek the numbing arcane. Crisis and violence, madness untamed, Revolution's fire, the world inflamed. In sync with events of insignificance. Unleashed automobility, a hedonistic dance, Individualism allure, a tempting chance, Grip of anomie and despair erodes at a glance. Conspicuous consumption, a fleeting thrill, Yet unsustainable, bear beyond, still. In a sphere bereft of spirit light, Where meaning fades—hope takes flight. An oddity exists in trans-political time frame, There is no repercussion for deviance claim.
