James Kelley Poet Free verse

A Society of Dark Comedy

Falsified and hypnotized.
 
Broken.
 
                       Monopolized.
 
Incurable and in need.
 
Overpopulated;
 
                             And alone.
 
Aggresively ignorant.
 
                                       Proud.
 
A world full of:
 
Tattered sincerity.
 
                             Ambushed happiness.
 
Hot tears and cold smiles.
 
Hollow people looking for....
 
                                         Something..
 
To feel alive;
 
Sometimes I feel like
we're already too dead to find it.
