Labyrinth of Sighs

Labyrinth of Sighs

Wondering through a labyrinth of sighs
More platitudes with attitudes that never question why
A litany of afterthoughts about where we go when we die
An emboldened range of rude retorts refuting the reasons why I cry

A canon blazing wartime over a century ago
The night sky spent stargazing, wondering what we really know
A multinational conglomerate just phasing out more duplicitous advertisements that “flow”
A hungry orphan on a street corner, with nowhere else to go

Self-aggrandising promotion everywhere I seem to look
The wealthy uprising causing commotions, celebrities writing books
A typhoon on the island coast, Turkey on the day the earth shook
A morbid day that hurts the most,
An undignified Capatalist crook

The arrogant certainty of western superiority
The way the monotony forms around typecast minorities
The precedence of material goods conspiring to take global priority
The contradictions of individualism that consume the vast majority

The medical anomalies and surgical advancements
The incredible atrocities of cosmetic enhancements
A formidable ferocity of genetics and semantics
An incredible philosophy of frenetic theological pedantics

A sincere gaze of solidarity into another persons eyes
A mere phase of different polarities that use scientific graphs to signify
A Purple Haze of creative improvisational genius that cannot be quantified
A confused daze of inconvenience as another witness is proven to have lied

Returning to the central point of a theoretical discourse
Concerning a fundamental joint possible hypothetical recourse
A burdened soldier after war suffering the agony of remorse
An ancient boulder from the shores of civilisations geographic historical course

A curious mathematician, an inspiring original think
The spurious contradictions of a political candidate on the brink
A furious proposition concerning a scandalously placed eye wink
Human connection and the endless search for the missing link

Can it not just be a certainty that humans will perform and co-operate?
Why must there be no dignity in the consistency of the intellectual debates ??
While first world countries are still waiting on basic health care financial rebates
There’s just too much to consider so I sit and stare and perpetually contemplate

Sending proactivity to democracies and fair political systems
Bending the proclivity of the inclinations for original concepts so as not to miss them
Fending off the proximity of the infiltrations on Aboriginal rituals and hyper-critical instance

Getting sentimental about the fate of someone you love
Keeping confidential about orders given from above
The perfect quintissential example about when push comes to eventually shove
The olive branch, the elemental significance of peace bought from a Dove

To carry on despite the adversity of the odds stacked against your favour
To tarry forth inspite of the uncertainty and what you choose to value and savour
To marry a suggestion with a possibility and an unconditional legal waiver
The savvy exclusivity of the contradictions in behaviour

We see it as a weakness to not be focused on success
But to be free from it in all its bleakness is a state I wish to profess
And to stand against these expectations is a position I would like to address
Because who among us is perfection and who among us cannot confess?

The End
