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.

I really enjoyed the arrangement of your words. I thought as much you played on words. Well written.

[Mayank]

[prajakta]

[Gummy.G]

It's like hearing a thunderstorm one after another in the same beat and rhythm, Very well done, nice to see your emotions on paper.

[Mayank]

Thank you Gummy! I had good time on bed, thought to write something but only this and other story came out.

[Ana B.]

Very nicely done.....ennui is getting more and more common these days...

[Mayank]

Yes, sure it is. Thank you!

[hardeep sabharwal]

This is what we feel when TV is on, I enjoyed this, and you did it nicely

[Mayank]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[nazia]

I would say the attempt is brilliant. Accurate description of the non sense that goes on and on continuously on television these days. Our society has become so hypocrite and full of pretense. no one sticks to the reality any more. Well written :)

[Mayank]

I was talking about reality not on this issue, but I happened to make statement 'reality is only fancy' I first must break myself from these chains.

[miss_shanita]

I really enjoyed it. If I had to sum up most of what is viewed on TV and in much of society this is the way I would do it,

[Mayank]

Yes! exactly.... plus we are more or less involved.

[Harlotte Crow]

I enjoyed this honestly. It's both complete and incomplete by nature. I feel like I can add so much more to it but you truly hit pop culture's nails on the head. What have we come to? Have we dumbed down or us there a method to the madness? Excellent work :)

[Mayank]

Thank you! I am glad you liked it. That is how I feel, exactly the same.

[Ruby Naa H.]

its great seeing our world now and what the future will bring
strong piece

[Mayank]

Thank you! This how things are now, future will be horrendous.

There's so much pretense in the world today, especially when one mixes ambition with technology. I feel like you've addressed many issues of the technical revolution. How is this problem going to be solved? No one really knows. Great write.

[Mayank]

I don't know when there will be technical burst, like financial burst but whenever it happens that will be apocalypse.
