Gases propulse from industrial pipelines.
Vapors, contaminants, environmental hazards;
Through a proper, justified blueprint
Filthen the youth: your very breath.
Mundane clanking throughout the midnight's moonlight,
Seeking assistance, finding none.
Clutch it! Oh, brave soul!
To wander, nothing more, for eternity in that pit.
A wastelandish utopia:
Light of day touched it once.
Sprung forth the beginning of its riches.
Hard to tell whether be silver, or gray,
Without sunlight, guess it's clear.
So what's it matter, anyway?
Apathetic questions, rhetorical rhythms,
The fabric yet to be spun.
Mindless instruments, eyes glued to the hand,
Wondering when the shift will be done.
Commute, arrive, settle down, waste the time.
Applying for promotion, re-writing the same lines.
Itch at the migraine, comply with demands,
Pack your papers, go home, and then do it all again.
Worship the screen while morale is replenished.
Remember to forget about brushing teeth,
Guess it's time for bed.
Doze, awaken,
Then wonder if it's over yet.
Repeat.

Plodding on, getting nowhere? Going round in circles, and not even noticing it?! Sometimes life can seem like this.
It's daft - we say 'hooray for the weekend', then soon again it's midweek, and 'repeat' as you say.
Indeed. It's also a representation of emotional disappointment in this sense. The way people expect, get let down, and then repeat it all. Thanks for stopping by Orch. It's always a pleasure to see you.
Coooeee Nicholas lol (an English way of saying 'Hi'!) - thanks!
I love the title and the image this portrays. I very much enjoy the vocabulary used in this
Hey, thanks man! I'm glad you like it.
