Illegal Dying

Illegal Dying On pursuit of greed On pursuit of fame- Gambling with precious life Is no longer funny play. We don’t guard ourselves Marmon broke all bounds Greed, flood gates opened There’s a deluge That inundates humanity. We’re bait in water Thrown by bungee jump Into the deeper end To bait wealth With a piece meal From our gullible hearts. At breakneck speed We travel, we pine Barriers on the fiery way Crumble under foot That plods with might Pulverising conscience Under its deadly stride. Expediency and experiment Replace care and kindness Egotism and hubris Is a reflection on the mirror To which we smile Gloat and graciously spruce With drab appetite. We look to another With an eye that talks Questioning neighbour How the hell he did it... We don’t compliment We enjoy commiserating Dirges are our sweet songs That titillates our hearts Hymns are a discord That is so insufferable. Compassion out of windows Is flung like a thief- With a thud it lands And held hostage By angels of uncertainty. JM 19th Nov’ 2013
