Sometimes

Sometimes I wonder why did

All these things happened

Yesterday’s rain drop keeps on spitting those curses

On this otherwise fragile land

Whom life depends on the stars

Bringing me back to six feet under

The extravagant towers, suffocating him

To no end.

Perhaps this is his destiny on this journey

Flew like the wind; unseen

Leaving marks for others but nothing left

For himself. They think it’s fair.

“The world revolves continuously whether you like it or not,

And your mere existence causes nothing.”

Like an arrow from the inferno

Stabbing me straight to the core.

Do I have one?

Keep on searching but not looking

Keep on targeting but not aiming

Keep on chanting but not listening

Where does that put us?

A lab rat ready to be sacrificed, willingly or not

I’m jealous of the rascal under the harbour stairs

Hidden yet successful

In making its own existence known

He’ll climb the stairs - halfway

Then turns back forever just like the previous affairs

Leaving me stuck on the bottomless pit

Of a black hole -

Alone.
