THE EPOCH WE NEVER MET


THE EPOCH WE NEVER MET

Sigh! The epoch we yearn not
The epoch a sage epitomized as evil
The epoch where the days seems unending
The epoch where the sun thwack the oily heads of man
Incising their dog-eared clothes
What a pity?
The epoch where the bourgeois never thinks 
About the consequences of their actions
They live in fascinating manors 
The epoch of hate but no love 
The epoch where glory erred into a chequered misfortune
Humanity was out-washed 
The proletariats were exploited mercilessly
Their labour created great wealth for the capitalists
The product of their ingenuity
Were sold for more than the value of the labour
Yet, only crumbs were left for their hunger.
During this epoch,
Even sense of belonging wasn’t an option 
For the proletariats
They could even surrogate their finger(s) for food
All these cynicisms 
Was god-awful to the proletariat 
Equally an ill-mannered to the society
Then a sage one went on saying
‘The ruling class’
They thought their brilliance of exploitation
Could last forever
Not knowing that capitalism contained 
The seeds of its own destruction
Perhaps they could not survive without the underclass 
But the continual wringing of the underclass
Created a great resentment
The proletariat led a revolution 
Against the capitalist
The underclass struggle
Led to the overthrowing of the capitalist
and their supporters. 
Succeeding this defeat,
A new epoch was born
‘The classless society’
Where man seems equal
This ideology was based on
‘from each according to his abilities,
to each according to his needs’.
An epoch where equality reigns
and the state simply withers away.
This new epoch was suppose to be a sheath
For the new generations
But I realise after a long scribble,
That we still evolve around that cruel epoch.

For, I Still Do

  For, I Still Do 'My world' was among one of the last things I enchanted my mouth & silence with, to you. I never knew it'll be my last. The trepidation of throwing off your scent Kept afloat on the river of our previous love Get drown, I mean d                                     r                                     o                                     w                                       n ,  & this love never sent me a drowning letter from the heart. Life can be down with one in the dumps, after love was lost in the creed of a bloody assassination, bathed in cold tears  and a peal of horrible laug...

MY SOLACE

TITLE : MY SOLACE  Happy Birthday to my solace  My makeup when I have a dull face  My sugar in the time of sour taste  Obviously we're from a different caste.  It will be so cruel  If I can't pen something for you here Because the day we met there  We became intimate with no fear.  Before today, you're just a friend  But now, you're a sister to the end I'll be your lawyer, if you have a case to defend Today is yours, and that's the new trend. With your stature, you're my infant  Trust you as my confidant  Sometimes I accept to be a fool When you tease me on who's more beautiful. She's my perfect place of comfort Consoling me in the time of distress thought  My cute girlfriend, adorable and short  Don't mind me, you're still my fort.  You've showed me love in many ways  Even when I change and sways How can I appreciate those days You cared for me in many ways.  My baby girl,...

The Temple I could not Worship

The Temple I could not Worship   Location: Cloud 9 Club House, off moon Road, Jupiter State.  Time: 9pm I walked into the dance hall  Which was my first time  Since I've travelled to a new planet.  And, here comes she...  ... dancing through my gaze 00:00 seconds, my focus changed  towards her set of loins. She has no face but beauty is all I see.  She wears a sexy smile  That could pull of my cloths at a glance. Oh, this is not my doom day And waiting to groom her on my wedding day  Is like a dream never come through.  And here she is,  Drinking from the thirsty ocean  of my assorted salty lips.   I thought it was a joke  When her hands moon walked  through my infantry hairy chest.  She halt at the center For me to catch some vibes. And as the music keep playing on, On and on and on and on...  The more I become lost and migh...
