Why Smiling When We Ought To Be Crying?

The despotic gods must be toxic as crazy.
But this herd of people are passionately stupid.
Never from my mouth will the demise of school teacher
Spread like a butter sandwiched between sliced breads
Oh what a relish! the good old days are gone—if any.
Our hankerings remain unyielding like a polemics.
Glued still to our dear castles of imaginations and yearnings.
Who knows if these lots are too foolish to be wise.
Or say—too wise to be dragged as stinking fools.
As always, weather dictates the color of the day.
The deranged knows nothing about his actions
Attendant consequences is a far fetched cry
Eight wonder is smiling while crying—an uncanny mystery.
To hell be the steeze whom the would-be beholder
Stinks and shrinks to the frail bones of himself
On their lofty palms, is a golden totem of complacency.
Which they adore and glorify daily on social media.
With a magical wand, they transformed critical issues
To trifles even before the blink of an eye
Very unmindful of the worm in the fabric of their destiny.
They laughed at the unlaughable with no modicum of reasons.
Smiling while their head got pounded in a mash of poverty.
They feigned happiness in the stead of sorrow.
The dullness of Jack is not a point of discourse.
The wellness of Jones is non negotiable
They sustain the rhythms and flows in the circus of melody
Carcass of hopes and dreams laid bare on the altar of cruise
Alas! the dweller has sheepishly caused the torrents to consume his abode.
For the flood has always been on the colonial transit
To obsequiously greet his river—mother
Either by crook or quack means or —whatever.
Readily at the expense of clownish potentate.
The whistleblower even need a forced air to blow his brute flute.
It is not my calling to wheel the paralyzed to the infirmary.
But how do I show my love and concern for humanity and country?
Let me air my naive conscience to the world.
Now, I can sleep without jactificating all over my bed.
