Jajosh Ongado Poet Verse

Nonliving Cm

I  trip among  sewage of lanes,
Vacant parks, garbage junk
Reveal  this aimless wayfaring
Arrogance tagged as pride—

Drunk on caprice, humans become
Wares used  for amusement.
Now emptiness haunts me alive
An existence,  rotting.

Line 3--  “… an alien life, a life unlived, not lively, hardly ours.”
