Spent
By Sy Roth
Her ears still tremble with the sounds
Shocked into somnolence gasping to make sense.
The giddy bassist a rue of flapping gums missing the flats,
The drummer’s lips moving in asynchronous confusion--
But seem excited
She a carved, lost soul curved by existence.
Puffs of Kool smoke rising in O’s frame the scene
Off camera, and she feels dejected
Her voice a raspy concordance of ills
Of the world she just flagellated.
They stirred the fatalistic mob into a nihilistic frenzy
Tired arms from their robust gyrations
Oily hair whipping their brows
A spent ecstasy of ejaculated postulations
As the air quieted to a dull roar
And they waited for the next round of guttural pronouncements.
She is bent with the effort,
Grainy hair framing an awe-shocked brow
Unsatisfied now
The quiescent instruments and amps no longer giving voice.
Her voice now shuttered---
Bandmates off to share brewskis and medicinal snorts.
Her song long gone.
Spent, she waits for a comforting hand,
None to be found.
A solitary creature waiting in the never-ending waiting room
Spent.

Object of my
fascinations
so many lovely
destinations
focus of this
love of mine.
Creator of my
inspirations
owner of these
fascinations
such a brightness
to ever shine.
Possessor of my
adorations
coveting no
expectations
As I write
another line.
Protector of my
ideations
lacking in dark
postulations
journey with you
oh so fine.
Ruler of my
meditations
understand my
implications:
forever yours
surreal
divine.

Why Rumi, you're intriguing me, with a reason so profound.
For your premise and it's remedy portrays you devil's advocate.
Who counters postulations, with a different point of view.
And offers meditation, to question one's beliefs.
Mankind desires healing, though save his self neglect.
To sacrifice well being, risks a needless brush with death.
Your prognosis is uncertain, while healing, comforts needs.
Inflicting illness on oneself, whichever way, you choose,
Is certainly a paradox, where reason seeks the truth.
An insight of this notion, how vaguely it's construed.
Was to question it's morality, and if, one does approve
By helping others to recover, whenever they fall ill,
Is not what you intended, by what you did propose.
But to suggest self administration, to satisfy desire..
Indeed it's pure delusion, where science is concerned,
The theory is, keep healthy, remember Darwin's words
The survival of the species, is what's desired most.

"If you desire healing
Let yourself fall ill
Let yourself fall ill"
Jalaluddin Rumi.

I see their faces on billboards & posters
with democrat's smiles they flatter their figures
they do not paint their mastiff & slavers
The constellations of their idle ideals is missing in their pictures.
I sank back in my sofa, watching my television
pondering on the theme and thrust and tones
of these spies...their lies, vacious postulations
crass and cynical arrogance hidden in their bones.
My heart ran through the lore and lexicons
of these politicians who hide their gloom during campaigns
they win the rugged race through fraud fraught elections
....to become rulers of a people in chains and pains.
Their practice of internal colonialism is a a curse
that has roused the rebels in the oil-rich creek of Niger Delta.
Their major mission and vision is to fill their purse
with the spoils of war...between our welfare and Nigerian ninjas
