Bags Of Hope [...The Carriage Never Ends]


The market looks promising but a vicious terrain
It harbours the most unloving handlers in the game
They move around but lurk in every portal and page
Waiting for those they see as down-and-outs to use

The employment ladder is such an avalanche of crap
Designed to give false hopes and promote rivalries
A glitch that has made everyone a subset of a system
That keeps workers busy and desperate for survival

They belittle job seekers in service of their own greed
Like cheap little puppets before they even get hired
They bad-mouth new intakes as if they have no worth
And then flutter their egos like a drenched rooster

Most wounds are left in the ashes of constant confusion
Hoping for a timely collision to make peace with the pains
Of a pursuit to tell a better story of misery and triumph
So much so they endure to enjoy the fragments of hope

There is more to illumination than humans can fathom
Many are comfortable in the dark than to be rejected
By the hands that throw a switch and darkness looms
Wondering when their nightmares would come to an end

The shackles are finally off the untamed beasts
The most feared predators are now on the loose
The toothless preys are searching for safe havens
And the hungry hunters are praying for a lucky day


Dedicated To Everyone

The Situations Are Different But The Reason Is The Same.

Distance Beauty (...The Inverse Of Reality)

He laughs and whimpers every time he sees them
Spreads his hands in the open with his eyes closed
Glides and then wobbles like a three-legged animal
A caricature he describes as a gesture of attention

She on the other hand researches all her targets
She hates to sleep with one side of her bed empty
She picks and strikes where her trade is unknown
A feat she describes as a mirror of self-persuasion

Although the desperation in his eyes is barely fragile
His fruitless mission is to own and build them a home
An offer that has been denied a thousand times over
By the same hoochies he meets every now and then

She gives solace to quench the thirst of hungry loins
The very thing she sacredly vowed to keep from lions
Has created an identity conundrum that is acceptable
In her eyes but uncanny to her cronies and outsiders

He's still at large with his eyes on the empty trophies
Begging his incompatible angels for an ocean of time
To reshuffle the same cards that are currently in use
As his days of hunt-and-devour are over and done with

Now that she's taken her battle where she can see it
She gossips those who once sought refuge in her nest
A premeditated tirade to discredit everyone of them
When the secret of her conquests finally comes out


Dedicated To Everyone
We All Have A Beauty That Is Still Blurry To Many 




Marital Remnants [...Crumbs That Look Crunchy]

She was a believer until reality jolted her out of her reverie She was sleepwalking in the endless when she bumped into you She thought ...
