Labyrinth of Sighs

Labyrinth of Sighs 

Wondering through a labyrinth of sighs 
More platitudes with attitudes that never question why 
A litany of afterthoughts about where we go when we die 
An emboldened range of rude retorts refuting the reasons why I cry 

A canon blazing wartime over a century ago 
The night sky spent stargazing, wondering what we really know 
A multinational conglomerate just phasing out more duplicitous advertisements that “flow” 
A hungry orphan on a street corner, with nowhere else to go 

Self-aggrandising promotion everywhere I seem to look 
The wealthy uprising causing commotions, celebrities writing books 
A typhoon on the island coast, Turkey on the day the earth shook 
A morbid day that hurts the most, 
An undignified Capatalist crook 

The arrogant certainty of western superiority 
The way the monotony forms around typecast minorities 
The precedence of material goods conspiring to take global priority 
The contradictions of individualism that consume the vast majority 

The medical anomalies and surgical advancements 
The incredible atrocities of cosmetic enhancements 
A formidable ferocity of genetics and semantics 
An incredible philosophy of frenetic theological pedantics 

A sincere gaze of solidarity into another persons eyes 
A mere phase of different polarities that use scientific graphs to signify 
A Purple Haze of creative improvisational genius that cannot be quantified 
A confused daze of inconvenience as another witness is proven to have lied 

Returning to the central point of a theoretical discourse 
Concerning a fundamental joint possible hypothetical recourse 
A burdened soldier after war suffering the agony of remorse 
An ancient boulder from the shores of civilisations geographic historical course 

A curious mathematician, an inspiring original think 
The spurious contradictions of a political candidate on the brink 
A furious proposition concerning a scandalously placed eye wink 
Human connectivity and the endless search for the missing link 

Copywright Elizabeth Moroz
