A routine involves
Persistence
Systematic
Hardwork
And assurance
But man with a little bit greed
Adventurous behaviour
And curosity
Will yearn for more
More than what is called
A dull and unprogressive routine
Or man with a little bit laziness
Will ask for more exemptions
Which later will also be turned into
So called routine
A bad dream
A haunting scream
Betrayal in his eyes
A smile as she claimed her prize
My mother’s tortured expression
My endless list of questions
If I had only fought more
I would not be battling this inner civil war
For someone who is supposedly extremely impressive
I can be very unprogressive
The guilt is strangling me
All I want is for my brother to be free
How could my mother choose
It is a concept I simply refuse
My aunt’s serpentine smile
Lingers in my mind making me hostile
This is all my fault
I am responsible for the assault
How can someone so allegedly powerful
Feel so powerless
neuro syntax threads milled to ground thought flour
For half-baked mixed feelings in recipes and menus for
Successfully successive integrations of intuitive tics
And flicks of words to roll together forming notions
And ideas of knowing whether cause of foaming oceans
Rolling surfs on sands of reason bubbling suds of season
For the potherbs of deductions finished fitful reproduction
Of gravitivic mindswelling in genuflective reflective lunatics
Thus do gargantuan knots enthrall the followers of threads
Of thought who seek the wisdom of the ages from self
Possessive unprogressive sages in states of self possession
Impossible to heed but going downhill at e’er increasing speed
D’y’follow?
