Angst Poems
Ire and Fire
by Bhaskaranand Jha Bhaskar
When mind and blood are infected
Injected by viruses of wanton politics,
Anarchy rules the roost,
Inhumanity ruins the heart;
Law hides its eyes behind the back
As screams flare up from the pyre.
When monster of corruption gobbles
The system, society and its people,
Humanity loses its beauty

When you left me

Love wept
as corals swept
The waters of calm into turbulence
When you left me.

The Coronation of Trump
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
A coronation, watched by our entire great nation,
Some with trepidation, others boisterous jubilation.
Trump feted, his fawning family silhouetted,
Basking in his light, his confidence and might.
This Grand Old Party, it's followers vociferous and hearty,
Anointing their chosen man, to rule their ever-growing clan;
No harm to love a cause, giving thought and sometimes pause,
To what this passion brings, the words the siren sings.

Heart drenched in insanity
by Fathima Valliyangal
You know what, Sherlock?
Love? That’s pathetic
His arms were drenched in her cologne,

what do I get? I am deceived,
as though my eyes are blinded

his archetypes were nicotine fetishists,
sluts and alcohol drudges, indulged by stimulants,
the witchcraft of which, results in a twitch
flinching submortem, enriched by the glitch into screeching

the weight of words
by Mishka M
i am the shoulder, the steady stone,
the one they call when they’re alone.
their tears spill oceans, their hearts unwind,
and i am the net they always find.
i speak in calm, in careful tones,
patching the cracks of fractured bones.
but their pain lingers, it sticks like glue,
and when they leave, it stays here too.
