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.

Reviews

This is so true, and so sad. Our society is sad... Good piece

[Latifa]

With ennui, died significance.
this line is summs up the wisdom of this wonderful piece

[Mayank]

I really enjoyed this poem!! It made me giggle, So very true!! Keep writing (:

[Avinash]

This one is brilliant Mayank. The point is the outside as we see it these days has given new definition to frivolity. Can we count on it or rather start looking inward into ourselves to seek the reality...Choice is in our own hands.

[Mayank]

Thank you Avinash, the choice are influenced in this so called modern world going backwards.

Pornography is lifetime proof that we lost our edge
So artificial and mechanic
We lost the point of being human

Of course media is a large entity of The Bullshit
Bullshit makers and creators and propagators

You should read "Media Control" By Noam Chomsky
You will never look at tv, newspapers or any media public platform in the same way ever again

I will definitely buy that book soon, I have made note of it. Pornography, work life, routine, political drama everything has just made us look like crap and we are just obsessed with all of this. Including me.

[B]

I engage in being a none audience of all of that
Long time ago
I disconnected
I live way better now

[fattycbreezy52]

An amazing poem hinting at the corrupt, current issues

[Mayank]

Thank you dear!

[Chirag Kumar]

A freestyle poem which conveys a lot about things going on currently. Well written :)

[Mayank]

Thank you, mate.

[Sindu]

Brilliant composition of abrupt intense lines. Overwhelmed. Voices my ennui through most of the days. People around me ask why I stay irritated at times and I don't like to rant much unless it piles on so much. These are the most of the things that bug the bugging life out of me.
I see that you changed a few lines again here and there. Like this more than the first draft. Very much.

[Mayank]

Thank you! You are the only one who knows my all my work, before edition :p
Glad that you liked it.

I have to say I kinda really like this. Its raw and honest. And I think there will be people who agree and disagree to the many things being said here. The structure is nice, no complain there. It kinda feel like these are thoughts that pass through the mind after a long day and one finally has time for thinking. Overall, I really enjoyed it.

[Mayank]

Thanks, I didn't know what to write. I just jotted down this and posted it.

Dr Sir, I am caught by surprise here. I do not know what to make of this. I cannot figure out who it is that you are talking about. Is this a description of yourself?
The structure of the poem is fine. My problems came with wrapping my head around the content.

[Mayank]

These are something about myself and things that I see on TV, from last one year I feel like everything happening around is pretty much tedious and I am completely bored with it. That's what I wanted to convey.

[Mayank]

P.S. I forgot to add I keep my work very ambiguous.

[Perkele.7885]

OK I just woke up and I my mind was blank.
