A life condemned to eternal disarray
Launched of the shoulder of mediocrity
Structured to produce hollow entities
A nation created to be a solid illusion
It’s foundation immersed in the putrid notion of being a democracy
In this business transaction
Between the elites
The common man is commonly placed
As the priorities of these forerunners involves personal enrichment alone
We are left in trenches
Our hope fortified by the wakening abyss
The situation seemly abysmal
“We have become a queer mixture of the East and the West, out of place everywhere, at home nowhere~Jawaharlal Nehru”
But for how long must we only wait?
For even the signs of the end time have become manifest !
Do we rely on the afterlife for our placement and justice ?
Must the peoples cause be left out when consideration occurs ?
The hands of the clock betrays us !
Age only seems to be catching up to death
As our youthful vigor departs
We are transported to the harshness of this world with out a clue as to what our purpose or function maybe
We are just statistical figures and are collateral damage in the war of the gods
The intentions of the naive man
His readiness to support a cause
A puppet stringed by the masters
A pawn digested by the system
The gods play monopoly
While we provide the labour
Our forces are week
“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth~Matthew 5:5 (NIV)”
Not in this generation
Our chances ever so bleak and mundane
Our Attitude of longing
Now replaced with a spirit of settlement
Agreeing to survive
To manage limited resources
This pains me
I am angered in my marrow
I still pray for a better tomorrow
But wishful thinking is never enough
It creates disparity and so does wishful thinking
“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Side , but to keep the very structure of society intact~by George Orwell”
I am lost !!!

Here are my favourite lines;

It is always good to keep in mind that time is swift and youth is transient. Make hay while its sunny.
To be different is a blessing and I know that in time we would collaborate .
Thank you
Agreeing to survive – deep . Nice work.

Thank you
things could not be better analyzed…its a shame a lot of our contemporaries are way to engrossed in short term vanities to notice that pieces of their future are being stolen from them everyday
A well scripted comment .
Macfoy, lovely piece.
“They know not, neither will they understand,… all the foundations of the earth are out of course…”
The ‘gods’ are not to blame on this one. Lust and pride have fueled the inferno eating mankind up. “When the wood is taken away the fire goes out”
