NIGHTMARE

Twangs of harp strings echoing
In tune with the eerie wolf howling
This night with her hands slithering
Choking the neck of light drearily

Ever expanding guilt of mediocrity
The shattering piece of melody
Then the sudden silence to rob
The moments of paranoia in a jiffy

Demons of my dark laden grapefruit
Pretend to be invisible and faceless
Floor to the confidence chamber
Led to by broken axiom staircase

A famine in the ambiguous river
Makes the humor cry and shiver
I get cold when I hear the scream
There goes the angel of dream

No horror is spared by the devil
Drum roll befriends the torture reel
Wake up is the soul's tormented call
Chains and meat hooks on the prawl

Dying in the wake of winds chill
I saw the crimson lines in hand
They defy me and spelled kill
Hell spawns over the show grand

Weak knees and gait with limp
Despair cloud make the hope blip
When life is your only valid prayer
The dream bleeds into nightmare

(NOT SO)SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE

When the dinner is the only
Friend in a hostile day
When the fight for identity
Gets lost to bread's necessity

The mirage also not perfect
In their desert's dry oasis
They fight tooth and nails
Just to lose their coat of arms

The tracks a symbol of path
Of constant degradation
Path with no promise of a destination
For the children born in trash
Life is the biggest tyranny

Smiles their meager makeups
Covers up the hardened wrinkles
Surrogate child of destiny
Luck is their unfaithful spouse

Dreams abnegated in chase of survival
Every man for self the life motto
Poverty a term in eyes of rich
Way of life for people down below

This ain't no fairy rabbit hole
No mad hatter to help alice roll
Vicious traps decorate the interior
Death come fast heal the warrior
