Rage Against The Apathy

Rage Against The Apathy

 When I wake up I ask myself one question, 
Who do I want to be today? 
Who do I need to be today? 
Do I wear my extrovert face, 
My introvert one.
Do I want to blend in or stand out.
Am I to be the observer or the participator.
A day isn’t worth living through if tomorrow is the day of action.
I will not sleepwalk and tell time to wait another day, 
I will rage, I will rage against the apathy.

Do I rise to the bait and fight at the first chance? 
Or do I fold my tongue and hold the words in? 
Do I tell the honest truth, 
Or do I utter sheer bs.
So while the skin is my skin, 
The face is my face, 
I’m a method actor, it starts with the shoes
Then I make my way up
Until the transformation is complete.

Am I Mr Jekyll or Mr Hyde? 
I can wear a wig, shave my head, grow a beard, 
Put on a limp or fake a stammer, 
There just tricks of the mind.
I’ve learnt a lot of lessons because I’ve made a lot of mistakes, 
I dare to cross the dare you cross that line.
There is a world of locks out there and I am in possession of the skeleton key.
I need to feel frightened, uncomfortable
Curiosity will not kill me, it will refill me.
So it’s the joy of the thing called sin, 
It’s a smart suit with a rebellious stain.
I won’t sleep, I won’t wait
It’s my rage against the apathy.

Unpublished New Poem

World Of Villains Hive minded satellites, float above the seas of thought Impartial observers take bets on how long apathy can yawn In limbo as gigantic hands keep on spinning the globe Keep on confusing the sanity of certainty The soul of the nations is poisoned Some swear it came through the clouds Some claim it was dormant until hatched inside us We live in a world of villains It doesn’t make sense, because it isn’t meant too So we wait to be saved, it’s always been this way The merging of normality and super enhanced capability Because in a parallel world, a world where we are All Stan Lee’s creations V TOPP

Unpublished New Poem

Snow Angels   Snow angels appear in the corner of our vision Blinking icy tears that scatter like silence Mourning for the glimpses of past innocences That with every footprint made become further away in the hearts and minds. Do you get frightened when on your own? Do you feel so quiet in this noisy world? The snow angels will melt And most will never know this V Topp

Mental Wealth

Mental Wealth This is my place, This is yours You can come back to who you really are here The dreamer stays To taste the rain The nature's rust Tans the skin As the birds make music again With the only conductor being the new day Home is here. Here is always home Do you know where you belong? I do, I do Watching a grey squirrel pat down his buried treasure I saw him pretend five time before On his dummy runs, to confuse the competition This is where the real x marks the spot It's what i can see It's what i can hear It's what i can feel Flickering white glimpses of light The cracks of surprise Like timid ghosts Rain broke the silence of thinking The vibration is ringing like a bell Give me this beautiful vaccine For the sake of my mental wealth The only wealth I want V Topp
