Untitled.

You know how all poems, or most, have a purpose? this one doesn't....it's just a general rant on soceity, on life, on an unending confusion that exists in my mind.
written during a never-ending holiday in Pakistan, Jan 2007.

Untitled.

Trying to handle
Everything
at once.
Be too many people,
For too many people.
Too many faces. Too many masks.
Which Me to Be?

Laziness- lair of vile inclinations
Boredom- limitless time for thoughtlessly drifting
through the mind's endless corridors
and vacant rooms.
Unanswerable Questions.
A weary old vocabulary
Defunct
Too elusive to be of use.
Nausea
Sleep
Tirdeness
Weariness of the Soul.
Exhausting Co-operation.
Monotony of the Unwanted.
Insecurity, Inexperience, Innocence.
Tact, Taboo.
Etiquettes of Behaviour
Rules to follow Rules.
Dormant, Stagnant Voices resounding
Echoing undying power
Uncontrollable.
Spinning in a haze
of Endless Time
Endless Space
Thoughts, Ideas, Dreams,
Spiralling
Cascading
Engulfing
Totality.
Everything
is like
Vertigo.


Note: the original format of the poem is actualli much different but sumhow i cant get blogger to save it , it just reverts it to everything aligned completly left or completely center....If anyone knows how to save it in custom format please let me know, ..thanx!!!
