Rationalisation of Explanation


Do not question
The almighty plan
For such are the reprisals of fear
That turn blind despair into adulation 

The evident proof
Existent in raped women and children
Irrefutable in famished stomachs
Undisguised in all the suffering

Hangs stark and...

Why Crippled America?

Any presidential nominee thus far, 
Anyone ever in long history’s past, 
Could’ve called America crippled, 
A high look upon disability to cast.

And healthcare stands sturdily tall,
As a...

And bad relationships

And judge by what they see
People don’t like me
But they don’t know...

His dad too had such eyes I enquired,
And God ! another brother having similar,

My reference letters helped fasten diagnosis,
But oh the agony...

To vague dreams that could’ve been realised
That once seemed so vast and infinite
And all things possible and significant
To find a dusty disillusioned self portrait
Of how life’s been truly...

One foot by one foot
by six foot deep
the chemical waste 
of a money pit
broke her parents

Two hearts and not three
Into one good bond 
That makes the most eluded 
To be the most...

Bullets riddle an already dead man.
His blood stains the, 
Dirtied child next to him red.
The child,
Cries and pleads for help and to understand.

The witnesses shut their eyes,
Hoping that it will all go away like a...

One undeniably within reach.
Free to the touch, the embrace of saving myself well, from myself.

Not realizing what lies ahead,
Only create being hopeless instead,
Reduce the sum of a valued life,
An unsure find leads to further strife,
Now in the dark as you contemplate,
