Absent

They lay beneath the layers
some seen and some absent
some quiet and some noisy
the fingers tremble
when trying to uncover the remnants
that send the shivers
down the spine
the feet freeze
the lights vacate
the eyes

Minus the Victor and the Vanquished

The greed wears the cloaks
and the fires that it stokes;

while the innocents choke !

The age old stories repeat
The tragedies happen

To possess, or to wait and watch, or to let it go?

These three questions hold the key to the future

Momentary are the victories
And so are the defeats!

But the destructions remain forever

the scars on the face of earth

and in the heart of the collective consciousness

The victor and the vanquished

both leave the alley of dead.

Empty

After all the noise

it’s just empty

and annoying

hanging on to the

thread of meaningless

Seamless

All is seamlessly connected in a whole

how dare you try to segregate?

Your arrogance O human

is like the last ditch effort

by a convict going to the gallows.
