Millennial

Millennials and their technology, a curse and a blessing.

The new millennial lifestyle
Repetition, and numbness
White screens
Reflecting ourselves to ourselves

The age of information
And misinformation
The technology
Emotions raw and exposed
Both a blessing and a curse

Grand ideas and new ideologies
Poisoning yet freeing our lives
At the same time

Cultural black-holes
La Belle Époque no more
The Roaring Twenties long gone
Nothing else left
Except the boredom
And the dissatisfaction

Shame

A poem about the hardships and the curse of life.

I can never walk away
I don’t want to be the lone stroller,
sashaying along the barren lands,
with feelings of guilt and shame
slowing me down,
like a thousand stones
laying still on my heart

Like a blustery whirlwind
It hit me along with crackling hail,
A deluge of heavy rain,
thunderous roars of fulminating bolts,
I shivered and scampered,
like a cast away duckling,
searching for solace and acceptance

Dreams of a pellucid sky,
shining down rays of sunshine
as I hurry away from the shame
that inflicted my dreaded soul,
like a curse of Cain,
haunting my conscious existence,
til end times.
