Inferno

By psiipilehto

Vigilance is the price paid for liberty we say &

Melt the midnight candle

Till the brain explodes

Worrying about dystopian futures

Becoming immediate realities

Wake up next morning

Already too haggard

for the hard day ahead .

Already on the edge

On espresso

Hit the Roads

Shame the shameless culprits

The Nazis ,

The pervy uncles &

Nervy mothers

Quote Dante , Kennedy & Dan Brown all at once:-

The darkest places in hell are reserved for those

who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.

No one listens.

Like the Germans once didn’t

How late is too late?

The twilight hits

The morale a

 bit too swift …

What if this struggle isn’t unique?

Just the disgruntlement of every

 Angry young person

Ever.

Maybe its all the coffee and student debt

A wilful distraction in lieue of personal poo poo

Get pacified by dinner.

I was just hungry

For what? I still don’t know..

Tomorrow will be a better day

At least another day.

Then the midnight hits.

For PU's Midweek Motif Vigilance

Actually a diary entry

Some days are So big

that you don't need a diary entry to remember it

eons later...

The day you started your new job , 

and really rocked at it

and 

the day you got into a major accident

where your helmet proved to be your

shining armour but you were no knight. 

You drive back rather bemused 

that it was in fact 

all the same day.

Where you kicked estoppel's ass

and sailed through shipping contracts

and 

also pressed both the brakes 

to avoid hitting that jackass

who was trying to cross the road

recklessly running right in front of you

Knees and feet bleeding

Blood clots already forming

what am I gonna tell my new boss?
