My Personal Dis-ease

Why does doom feel so familiar While happiness seems so far away? How many times have you heard the supplications Asking for help, or Begging for mercy, from our suffering. In this god-forsaken place, Where we have been placed, to test our tenacity. Here in this tent city, surrounded by the sounds of industry, Talking to strangers, about predestined arrangements Watching the birds fly and the bugs crawl beneath the canopy In a seemingly parallel reality, I’ve come to suffer separation From this place we call civilization, the noise of today Is but tomorrow’s memory, wanting to steal my spirit away. Just leave me be. Forget about me. Mind your own business. Leave me out of the fray. I never asked it to be this way. Criss-crossed with trespass, egregious behavior Upon someone else’s path, invasive presence, vainglorious - Self-interest that clashes with everything including itself. Vibrating like a hive of invasive species Eating away at the fabric of our being. Loud, obnoxious, rude, concoctions, diseases for the masses Please take me away from this insanity. Again, I pray. ~psp dr. (pi) .
