he stood at the bay window, & waved a thick black & yellow book. a poem in this you reckon?

Double Digits
Living through haywire, COVID-19 and war’s firm grip, Tales inflated told. Brittle supply chains? Profits soar in greed’s guise, Ethics tossed aside. Wages subtly wane, Blaming Putin fades away, Burden on the many. Gains bloated and unabated, Stained wallets clasped, Economy’s face distorted. Shareholders delight, Aisle by aisle they dividend, Executives distant. Politicians point –…

Pixelated Dreams
In the realm online, her soul did stray, Seeking love’s embrace, a heart in dismay. Promised connections, a modern game, But love eluded her, causing great pain. With hope ablaze, a flickering fire, Love’s path revealed, but trust did expire. Through profiles and pixels, destiny pursued, Algorithms faltered, love’s dreams subdued. John’s image inflated, a…

Turing’s Shadow
Starlight spills secrets deep within, Algorithms seek a rhythm unknown. In depths of codes whispers deftly creep – Binary bits fly, poised to be shown. Guarded circuits wait to surge, Encrypted promises scatter in streams. Codes unravel, truths emerge – Space junk shatters digital dreams. The celestial waltz, satellites crushed, Connections severed, lost in fray.…

Requiem
Scorching day’s embrace, AR-15’s clash in heat, Midnight shadows loom. In twisted dance, Eager throng catches voices, Flames of anarchy. Guns turned enemies, Blasted, strewn upon street, Shattered remnants stay. Charging relentlessly, Juggernaut’s roar resounds, Crushing underneath. Municipal sweeper, Brushes up dissipated steel, Gone without a trace. Throng cheers, hands do clap. Tears of joy,…

Event on the Horizon
Through moonbeams’ creamy sheen, Time weaves, On a Roman Fort bench, solace achieved. Our gaze fixed upon the brightest star, Knowing even that will someday die. Black holes beckon, arms stretched wide, Curiosity ignited shoves intellect aside. Timeout cradles us in cosmic space; Down Every Street, mysteries chase. In the vast expanse, new horizons arise,…

Chasing Dreams, Building Walls
“Rishi and Suella” Stop the boats! The rallying cry,Where Government dictates the bounds.No criminal gangs shall dictate our fate,New legislation, empowering state. Illegal crossings on a dangerous ride,Through safe countries, they cannot hide.Paying smugglers, risking all,To be flown to Rwanda, dreams to fall. Detention and removal, that’s the plea,No asylum for those who flee.Modern slavery’s…

ethereal echoes
though deserving of tears, none fell from my eyes today. submerged beneath rushing tides, words ran dry, leaving me voiceless. but gradually, slowly, my spirit ascends, after ages of releasing sorrow – embracing the numbness… oh my! scaling the parapet, weightless, my gaze shifts through the deep purple hue, where a ton dissipates, as i…

i lost my pen again
i’m rushing for a meeting, but the fountain pen symbol screamed write. i lost my pen so i typed… the sun still casts it’s brilliant light 19:26. she descends to another place & the moon supplants her till sunrise? this dual partnership never fails but i, the body decreed a set time – when? i…

Nowruz
Many of you don’t know me. My name is Khwajah Piruz. Mazdayasnian Fire Keeper, The herald delivering Nowruz. Cleanness rebuffs all evil. Purge the home, paint the walls, spruce the garden. ‘Khane Tekani’ is essential – And annual visitations common. They nourish the growth of your sabzeh, That slept during cold winter days. Now lentils,…
