BLUR

My hands trembled with fear,
The decision to put down 
my spectacles had me in tears,
Reality would be distorted 
with its end near,
Polarizing perceptions and 
consequences severe.


I put my spectacles on the table,
Everything was blur instantly,
I could no longer witness the 
prostitution of daughters by 
parents in whorehouses,
I could no longer witness the 
prostitution of God 
by men in shrines,
I drank adversity like it was 
some kind of fine wine.


I’m not a poet anymore,
I’m just a hypocritical swine,
Caged by my thoughts and deaf at times,
The world is blur to me and that’s a crime,
For if it’s more miserable,
I’ll go blind.


Dedicated to all and none,
