Life Like This



Like a guitar ,my tenderness is hidden in the magical fingers with which you touch the strings,
Resonance chukling with fading frequencies disappears in an invisible air like the raindrop in the wide ocean.
Like homeless people,whose pain is hidden in the crystals of sparkling diamond fostered on the glittering walls of rusty throne.
Hungriness crawls In dead silence like a  monster bombing on civilians only to eulogize devil.
Like a poem,whose every verse cries for a cause,
Harmful emissions from advanced technologies just another paracetamol in the belly.
Terrorized swamp loaded with thousand lies,
Raven sitting on the dead oak says & cries.
Perplexed by illusions, degraded by  Industrialization followed by experimentation resulted in dehumanisation,
McDonald's is killing it,KFC is frying it, life is burning in the oven of human-flesh manufactured capitalisation.
Everywhere cops,bullets and bombs,drugs and seditions,
Corrupted and mutilated democracy, mockery to the judiciary with morbid sections.
Hospitals to rehabs,schools to universities,banks to commercials,
Actors in the real world hooded with daggers to play with decimals.
Politicians & puppets,lawyers & burecrates, agencies and secret societies,
Leaching the blood of civilians,killing the dreams of young gens,just devilish priorities.
Cupcakes to chocolates, Protein shakes to coke industrialization
Assassin's aim for colonization to end human civilization.

About this poem

The poem encompasses a different perspective of life. The cutthroat competition had brought everyone on edge. Is this advancement in technology good? How it is affecting society? The imperialism still exists but in modernized form. The capital markets enslave common masses through its perplexed & rational techniques.
