a storm is raging outside.
sky, overcast with clouds
trees shiver under wind’s might.
everything around,
presages an impending doom.
the least pressure would suffice
to let all the hell fire loose.
sitting in my dim lit room,
with all the windows shut,
I glance over the balance sheet
of my life~
time, like a nasty thief,
has stolen all my dreams,
the dream castles that I built
have crumbled down as if made of sand.
all sweet memories gone,
shaking their mane,
like horses galloping away.
bitter memories-
only bitter memories remain!
I too come with a deficit,
the differnce is I say screw it.
deficit brain,
I'm seeing a big flaw here
and a thousand scandalous defects,
I'm driving like a reckless driver,
through the crossroads of thought.
this labyrinth had everything to be fantastic,
now it's a mess of dirty and dark streets,
where words feel like a virus
that there is no way to treat.
I'm biting my nails,
I'm peeling the paint off the walls,
can you stop smiling your success?
can you give me a bottle of water?
I need to regain some hydration,
these tears know how to batter.
Madame Déficit
Marie Antoinette
Convicted corrupt coquette
"Let them eat cake" she allegedly said
Revolutionaries roared "off with her head!"
Restlessness, impulsiveness,
loquaciousness, compulsiveness,
distracted inattentiveness
and tangent railway tracks.
Complexities, anxieties
and dopamine deficiencies.
Instant gratification please,
relief for my synapse.
Procrastination, wired sensation,
biochemical frustration,
forget to take my medication.
Frontal lobe relapse.
Rapid heartbeat, fidgety feet,
hypervigilant, unable to sleep,
central nervous system freak.
Neurological cracks.
Pictorial evidence of a moon beam dancing dangerously across a road with a stripped sun is only to be depicted by a jury who knows the sanity of true speech. Whereas a gutless cuttlefish could curd if left in the heat. For over three millenia a greedy goblin has baked human cakes but used land ovens. Land ovens are often incredibly hard to clean really. So grab a sponge early. Before it escapes on that plate. How odd the oddities correlated in an oval office original order of occupation. And a fathomable bag of whiskey and chips are best served in a large bath that dangles from a ceiling akin to a giant swing. Wee wee wee goes the small beetle. Giggling grabbing garters gathering goo. And a paste of pie. Never let it be said that an ornate dish can give orders to a kilo bag of organic potatoes. Ok then. Good. Eighty six miles with a whisk. Must be such a hurtling errand really. Wow. Fantastic isn't it. O overplayed lava of volcanic news in a lava launch. Hahaha tidal travelling trains..hahaha sitting shoes shaping sacks. Xxxxx cosmography z. With the p u q at the Z moment.
There is a night when
even the trees are monsters.
I stare all night long.
In 2010 just before the General Election, David Cameron promised,
To eradicate the deficit by 2015 and manoeuvre it out of the red,
But now in 2015 George Osbourne the Chancellor of the Exchequer said,
He’d take until 2020 to make it black and put the whole thing to bed.
The tories are rather behind at “finishing the job”, as a stalwart Brit would,
This was the character alluded to who would nicely fit the role,
Of managing the deficit well, efficiently and with maximum speed,
Such that austerity can be justified when we only spending what we need.
The newspapers are saying that it will take another 10 years,
To clear the deficit such that austerity is not on the table, a possibility;
Labour and the SNP advocate a longer time for financial health,
Which would be much better for economic growth and future wealth.
