Before the marriage knot we tied
she swore to her virginity;
between our vows and intimacy
she either lost it or she lied.

A Copernican change - analysts say,
Or a paradigm shift;
Progression has gone a long way,
With daydreams drift...!
The revolution that had once begun,
With the wheel long ago;
Has rolled on with stun, spun, and fun,
Now to aglow...!
I could not believe it when I did touch
The smart touch phone wonder;
Mystery in it I felt much,
Like calm thunder...!
Communication, like spring buds and blooms,
Fervor-fresh and fragrant;
Forever new finale fumes,
Like a vagrant...!
Computer? Who cares? Wheel? Oh! No! Grown old!
Enjoy a small apple;
In the form of tablets, handsets,
Till you grapple...!
We go on; Our kids too; like birds and beasts
In old woods with new trade;
Our minds leavened by newness-yeasts,
Like lilies fade...!!!

Social media on fleek
Prolific likes and praise we seek
Knowledge of 'SELF' is as distant as a stranger in the night
A nomad in a dark, desolate land so void of divine light
Social distancing is now a central theme
Incomplete sentences, text messages, and mindless memes
Faces covered, calling all to join the masquerade
Only weary eyes of confusion while a life of exuberance abade
Mumbling music signifies obfuscating thoughts
Shiftless artistry made popular, creativity not wrought
Stored seeds in Svalbard
No questions or concerns yet humanness is being marred
Food shortage hovering over us
Monsanto disguised as Bayer but still no justice
Delta variant in the air
5G and fear emitting everywhere
Take the 'Jab'! Come on and indoctrinate
Don't be an outcast; participate
Hitting more 'LOUD' and becoming more quiet
Desensitized from voices of inspiration when instead there should be a riot
Smart devices in hand appear cool
Stooped over postures and slanted information, what a fool!
Vibrations so highly enticed

Zeitgeist translucence
The spirits are unseen to those who have not felt their presence.
The non-believers will never see them, if they remain faithless.
Without a Heaven to look forward to,
We would have no reason to live right.
God sent us a message of peace; we use it to fight.
We are no longer made of starlight.

for having a ultra hyper bright light
just for having the title of DOCTOR right
some presume they are smart
and be known for being LORD bart
actually are piece of zeitgeist sight...!

Zeitgeist
of yesteryear,
so vividly captured!
A photo frozen in time of...
reporters waiting for a press conference;
the sky above them soon to change...
from white to scarlet red.
Look at those cars!

The auspicious death
in moonless night.
Anxiety meets the ultimate.
What was left now
to cultivate the kiss
of unknown. Everything
has been spread on the bed.
The knife, the heart and
the parting lips.
The purity was at stake.
Spiteful and maligned, you
tear off the tender drape.
The black silence
descends in the gash of the
memory. A white marble bleeds.
