carbon dioxide
methane
political hot air

Greta alert
David alert
parochial apathy

fossil fuel
Indian blockade
dinosaurs cop out

My mind is cloudy
And seeming to tighten
Flashes if anguish
Pain, torment and loss
Overtake my life
Nothing is easy
Not even Denial
Must push through this
Through the blockade of indifference...

It's a blockade I hate.
It always gets in the way
of progress I want to make.
Absent, I feel trapped.
Can't escape, can't fade away.
Unable to evade, I am afraid.
I fight the battle every day.
.......What more can I say?

Engage yourself
Engross yourself

Fill moments 
Feel movements

Hate or kisses
Hugs or misses

Apathy or glory
Love or hostility

Flow or blockade
Plinth or facade

Uncover yourself
Discover yourself

On facing blockade, simply smile
The universe tests us
Smell the roses and rest awhile
Flow easy without fuss

View ego urge askance
Make erect soulful stance
Live thus in nonchalance

Outcomes to rest laid
On facing blockade

River so deep, fathomless
attractive, intriguing

The stories
your dark waters 
concealed

My canoe crashed
obscure boulder,
inconspicuous blockade

So much for my wisdom
and being older

The watercourse
became narrow
the stream
became weak

My majestic river
dwindled
to an unpretentious creek....

A child looking puzzled at Santa Claus
Having no mask; roaming without a pause
Moustache and beard he has shown,
Which are fully grown
'Blockade for virus culprit,' that's the cause.

A life of drugs; he laughs, he shrugs
Found this world to be "non-addictive"
Hopelessly dependent; oh, can I end it?
Hurt so deeply, now I'm vindictive
Construct the thickest, strongest shell
Impenetrable fortress; unstoppable blockade
Barb-wire, a moat- ten million guards!
They come, they go; they glow, then fade......

Entrances with a name,
Cities with a name,
We have a name!
Let us take a chance
To give our entrance a facelift,
A sandblasting and polishing!
Our name, too, must be engraved
For the season ahead
With the Name above all names!

We'll stand on the land
Where we were once scarred,
And go through the blockade
To the other side.
Stepping into a new place of peace,
Our path will be secured and blessed....

Paranoia: short circuit to madness
Walking around freely,
Yet our minds are in straitjackets
All these voices & choices
Will offer mental hazards
Control your action
As thought misfire accident
Check your medical aid
Before the consciousness blockade
Check your sense, in reality, 
While your brain cells are in casualty
As you stand in crowds
You mind is gathering clouds
They see you while you are in "ICU"...

curled up in a ball
saying it didn’t happen
speaking in quiet tones
to oneself &
wishing that it will all 
go away---
night turns to day &
back to night again,
where those one might 
confide in otherwise,
just don’t live up to the
shoulder that they’re supposed
to be---
left on one’s own, one forms
a blockade & works on
burying the memory so as to
forget it ever happened,
so as to make like one’s always
been like one’s always been---
safe & sound
& never ****ed with....
