[385] When You Forget Listening

Forgotten to observe ⁣the stories of the unsaid ⁣Glitched neural networks ⁣to propaganda and overload⁣Emotions overpower contentment ⁣Ideas sacrificed for thirst for power ⁣The brave new world is drowning⁣and the underwater rebellion war cries⁣drowned out ⁣⁣But you know what they say ⁣about the dormant volcanoes⁣They burst when it’s least expected of them ⁣and the stories [...]

[383] The Big Bang

To attain the first impossible ⁣I venture beyond silence⁣Almost touching the great beyond⁣I find myself going inside the soul ⁣Glitters shine around vacuum⁣The gravity doing its work ⁣Space rock blasts in the cosmic night ⁣and the stars dance to its twinkly tune⁣As small as the speck of sand ⁣As large as the Milky Way⁣my thoughts [...]

[382] Normal Lives in Strange Times

Strange times ⁣strange lives ⁣intertwine in rhymes ⁣Breaking patterns ⁣to see through ⁣I’ll break atoms ⁣to be with you ⁣⁣Nightly talks ⁣Stoppage of time ⁣Expansion of the universe ⁣from a livid God’s mind ⁣We’ve been hurting ⁣We’ve been looking away⁣But we’ll understand it later⁣on a moonless Sunday⁣⁣We can getaway⁣under the ⁣probing eyes ⁣of the stars⁣Violent [...]

[381] Why We Write

I write what I deny to think in my own head. I surprise myself as I watch these thoughts become real. It feels like someone else holds the pen and writes things I didn’t know I feel. He writes all that I thought I conquered but all I did was, lose to it.⁣⁣It’s a reminder [...]

[374] Infinite Jest of Living

It’s the end of the world⁣I’m screaming to no one at all⁣A lonely death of a lonely mind ⁣finding peace in its plight⁣Caressing regrets of our times⁣Sleeping with kindness at night⁣⁣Oh it’s the end of the world⁣Empires of kings and queens ⁣flashes of a dynasty⁣Killings of a hundred languages⁣Extinct animals used to practice ⁣Lying under [...]

[372] Know Yourself, Know Others

How many times have you observed 
people in their private spaces alone and being their honest selves? There’s an ease or a disquiet
