Dystopian scorn pours

Cheap chips liberally...

calloused hands touch me
icy feeling like winter
from his fingertips
I shiver from the contact
and plead for spring rain...

Clickety clackety
Queen Marie Antoinette
"Cake let them eat", she said
When they'd no bread

Due to her callousness,
Improvisational
French mob decided then
"Off with her head"

ANGER


Lunges out to tear the
Flesh from bad behavior;
Clawing, ripping the dripping
Entrails from arrogance and 
Selfishness :  its shaggy coat
Bright red with the blood of wanton
Callousness; its foaming muzzle
Snapped into the throat
Of malice and deceit.

               Don’t make me angry...

No, such a simplistic word
Two letters, one syllable and one meaning
Yet you find great struggles in iterating said word.
You say its opposite constantly without reticent 
Without discrepancies or cloistered callousness.
For this, they expect yes and nothing more
For this, they take advantage of 'it'; of you. 

Say No....

My motivation for leaving rests squarely on your faithless shoulders
it's your flippant smile, your quiet disregard
the devalued way you make me feel
It's the many nights spent alone resting my head on your lies
the callousness of your hands, the chill of your touch
sending shivers down my spine
finally the goodbye you won't say...

to believe in what i am doing
to do what i believe in.

seizing every day, every moment
i refuse to be touched by small hearts and narrow minds.

callousness, indifference and greed shall not blight me.
i shall trust, love and live for Him.

i shall remember where i came from
and where i am heading.
i will not forget my Home....

The third world war has already begun.
This time it’s humans versus planet earth.
Having failed to treat all life forms as one,
we’ve abused Mother, who’s given us birth
and so unless we come here now undone,
She’ll evict us since thin has worn Her mirth.
We’re Her guest but know not how to behave,
callousness digging thereby, mankind’s grave....

The paint not quite dry
The strokes vivid and strong
Hues of violet and amber
A masterpiece set aside

Each color painted with longing
A portrait of all that is true
A faceless canvass of yearning
Uncompleted from hapless youth

Before the callousness sets in
A fragmentary work of art
Placed in an abandoned corner
Forgotten in life’s hurts...

No one is reacting as dramatically as me.

Because no one is struggling as dramatically as me. 

Some unspecified illness-

To them is not real. 

Maybe they are not conscious of their callousness. 

But it still feels like I must reach a crisis for action to be taken. 

Whether the guilt falls on me or them-

They will still be my own scars....

Some people always have false impressions
In their intricately folded, convoluted brains
Associating Kindness with Weakness;
Thinking of Straightforwardness as of Stupidity
Making it form of mental sickness of the mind;
Not appreciating or comprehending either.
Instead, preferring Callousness to Others 
Sprinkled with Mindless Lies - to top it all off....

The Human Condition
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Animals, yet so much more
Being human, the laughter and love
A lot easier than one would think
The truth of the matter our callousness stinks
Is tragedy really necessary
To bring out our best
Be true and kind always, life is just a test
Caring is so easy smile, hold out your hand
This temporary condition leads us all
To a promised land...

I
sit on
lonely throne
contemplating
on the depravity and callousness

corruption of mind and soul so rampant
like a cancer
requiring
quick deep
cuts

I
flick page
to lighter
sports and like stuff
flush down my load , duty done for the day

In the beauty of your eyes, I see the chaos that created them

In the softness of your voice, I hear the fury that muted you

In the velvet of your skin, I feel the roughness that was beaten into you

Despite the gentleness of your soul, it's surrounded by the callousness of your mind

Warm heart with an ice cold wall

An outlet for pleasure and magnet for pain

Crafted by the angels and destroyed by the demons...

Can I not tell her 
I watched her grow 
Though my pride beams  
Yet I am shackled in this life

Can I not tell her 
That my heart 
Wrote me a fairytale 
Yet the reality of life is cruel 

Can I not tell her 
Her smile
Will carry my eyes forever 
Yet Cupid laughs at his callousness 

Can I not tell her
She must fly away 
To that life we dreamed  
Yet I have neither feather nor wing 

Can I not tell her 
I love you...

The world will be a better place,
when people can admit,
those not like themselves,
in their private club or clique,
are capable of good works.
When people not like themselves,
are no longer played with like toys,
a callousness, and arrogance,
only practiced by those in power,
not mature enough to realize,
that one day they will not be,
when their days are drawing short,
an ending no one escapes,
 what will they think then?...

There are seven ways to make it.
Comply, Deny.
Make that two, for such are the only ones that matter. 
A rabbit makes her way into the cave of snakes she calls her home. 
So unique, so different. 
Loneliness is not akin to being alone. 
The snake cave is her home,
Her world, her universe.
The venom, the callousness,
Her world, her universe.
Was it an illusion?

There are seven ways to make it, 
Two words disappear. 
One in exchange for a mountain.
One welcoming Spring....

Earth Day’s not a worth day
For the skeptics and polluters
And, add to that, the bigots and
The ask-no-question shooters.

For those who value someone’s life
So little they’d take aim
And fire a weapon with no thought
That they could kill or maim

Most certainly don’t care about
The animals and plants
Or rescuing our planet
When, right now, we have a chance.

It’s sad to think about the earth
That we will leave behind,
But even worse to face
The callousness of humankind....
