Here I am my compatriot Do not bore me with inanity Stay in your lane dear friend And let me stay in mine For this is the season of anomie Tempers are high and boiling over Do not try to teach me good manners Cause my patience has run out And I can no longer listen to lies Spewed from...

In a never sleeping metropolis, In the dungeon of a room, My days and nights are locked! I am a traveler on a street, with no end in sight, But just the bustle of the moving crowd, And a handful of burnt dreams for company My ‘kingdom’ is in the third floor, Of an old street building, Now languishing in neglect, Facing dilapidation, Just...

When social upheaval brews chaos of nihilism, Forfeiting moral values, embracing skepticism; Instability ensues, clamoring in emptiness, Believing world is futile, life is meaningless, As broken norms shout, voicing nothingness From souls alienated by misplaced intellect, Mislaid by thoughts, vacuous and mindless. Barren is the landscape of infertile minds Dislocated in grip of meltdown and melancholy, Preferring to host anarchy, disharmony, Abandoning the virtues of...

Dowry, drug addiction, and domestic violence rule Female foeticide and female infanticide go cool. Abortions, corruption, and gender inequality Racism, human trafficking, casteism, and poverty Food adulteration, wealth hoarding, consumerism, and greed With many such evils, we, as a society, bleed. Where are our good-bad consciences and consciousnesses? Where are our ethically fit philanthropic choices? Like a crack in the rail track, there's...

ANOMIE
"There is no crime if there is no law..." But everything else could be in confusion We may let justice use its claw To halt the state of desolation Normlessness may bring disorganization We may have laws to guide our path But there's a need for decriminalization Of strange laws that could bring more wrath While there's pyramid,...

Written: April 10, 2024 For Edward Ebeh Contest “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” — Rumi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In society grasp, individuals fade, As group dynamics falter, satiation wane. Anomie is the state in which we reside, Void...

Reign of Anomie
Confused world, complex challenges, contracting earth, climate changes; conflicting cultures coalesce. Booms, bangs, shrills, shrapnels flood the air; blood clots in the street. Shredded homes float for sheltered peace: victims of greed that weathered the world in her wallows. Who dares pull back lust or freedom marchers? Who cares for the mammoth flotsam-- dregs of a fractured world that ripples under quakes and storms to...

Should we invite the neighbors over for dinner? Their politics so different from ours. All the more reason. Combat anomie! He's worried the town's losing population but opposes immigration. I like immigrants but hate passing people on my morning walk. The whole mountainous western region of the state is losing population at a rate of 1% per annum. The young move out, the...

Cirque De Anomie
Success induces affinity, a sense of familiarity, recognition. Similarly it instigates mysticism and scepticism: all based on ‘intuition’. Thoughts accumulated without reason, nor justified perception: A man who stares into a mirror, and doesn’t recognise his reflection. On first name terms with ‘The Beckhams’, and Hollywood’s elite. They’re not characters, they’re people, on Coronation Street. Remarkable. How soon someone can be...
