The Hollow Men

What is it that we are seeking ? Nothing lasts forever…
No illusion worth keeping…

We die a little every day
Come tomorrow and we are at it again…

Oh Yes, Gadgets tell us everything
But, Life happens when we look around and dive within

A ‘Like’ is a reason to smile, a ‘Comment’ makes us proud
We grew up too soon, shrill and loud

Faces we paint, stories we make
Intentions are masked, ambitions veiled

Our existence is a drag, hash wine sex and “freedom”
The highs are temporary, then hollowness and humdrum

Virtually, we are all opinions, judgments and bravado
Real Time, we are mum, dumb and incommunicado…

History gave us lessons, Maths – numbers
Still hanker after power, jumbled up in slumber

Our actions are testaments of the grief we sow and eat
Who are we fooling ? Our shrouds we shall meet.
