Ennui

Eyes glued on a screen

I see,

Dimwit comedian

Reigning Machiavellian

Corrupt leader

Lame actor

Pathetic pop singer

News reader

Making headlines

One after another.

In isolation,

 I see the future

Overqualified

Lethargic

Robotic

Chaotic

Idiotic

Hedonistic

Mechanically I cease

Dirt, that I breath.

Fingers on joystick

Prescription of pills

Same ol’ pornography

Rollin’ blunt

Where’s the c**t?

We don’t need to hunt

Naked in the front

Publicity stunt

This existence is perplexed

With ennui, died significance. 

Author's Note

I have been trying to write something but I have failed miserably, this is my attempt after a long time.
This one is inspired from the song Fear of Blank Planet - Porcupine Tree.

Hey,
It feels fast paced, irritated, (in a good way), urgent, and the last 2 lines wraps it up really nicely. That's such an interesting statement: with innui died significance. And thanks for teaching me a new word today! Haha (still don't know how to pronounce it). Cool poem!

[Mayank]

haha! thank you. I am glad you liked it.

It's not just the words...not just the meaning..not the rap that flows through it..but i feel its the integral sum of all these...to be honest, they inspired me a lot..and I owe my gratitude to you.

[Mayank]

Thank you Kiran, that means a lot.

I love this poem! The rhymes and the short structure are genius, I also like the meaning of your poem and how it so accurately reflects today's world. :)

[Mayank]

Yes, the obsession of human. Thank you!

[Vani Devraj]

Awesome! I really love this.

[Jennifer]

You speak the truth! I loved this! I totally feel the same way.

[Kelsey Rogers]

I like the harsh tone your words made me read this in. The society we are living under is crumbling slowly and one small voice sadly cannot make a drastic impact. Love it!

[Mayank]

It is, indeed. Thank you for review.

I have been having time out from writing too but the words are always there for us and you pulled out a nice piece here. Welcome back :)

[Mayank]

Thank you! I am glad you liked it.

Do you know, if you read this poem out loud in rap style but with a really fed up voice, it makes a tremendous impact! You really must write some more. It is amazing where inspiration comes from.

Thank you!
