The Chancellor

I exist in an ambiguous space and time
Where the city is turning mad
With evildoings and violence taking its toll
Often I wish I was far away
In the sounds of silence
Nothing but peace at the border of the town
Maybe in the woods, perhaps the hills
Where I don't feel that I should change my name
My address and identity in the hope of finding freedom
Where I don't have to live in the shadow of fear
A certain power that will always hunt me down

I am consumed by my pursuit to survive where I am
My desire is to come out of the clutches of somewhat a tormenting other half
Often they say that sometimes it takes the darkest hour of our life
The fear of death, to regain our consciousness back into life
I am not just one person
I am that two lives
The completely symbiotic nature of a couple
Constantly in our darkest hour
Going against each other
Like a relationship that has already fallen apart
That is moving fast towards its end

"But do not lose hope", they say
As I wander on empty streets every passing night
As I lose myself to my relentless angst towards somewhat an unyielding life
"Your life is an anthology. Your chapter is not done yet."
I answered them, "but it is not and never was mine to write.
I am never my own person.
I am a puppet.
My life began with an incessant harassment by that I should never mention.
I was pushed to a corner, to take the extreme step.
I never meant to end a life.
I never wanted to take a life.
All I wanted was freedom.

And come 1945."

Shut The Fuck Up, Kind Sir

He came with his extempore skit - clueless, really
Didn't pay attention to the serious matters
Yet translated everything into elections on a jagged field and broken promises
And the reality is democracy for us died a long time ago
The system was decapitated
Honourable judges were unlawfully sacked
Independence was bought
Scandals, corruption, deaths in custody, you name it
And intelligence are no longer intelligent
This is the present day monocracy
By present, I mean forever as they are still on the roll
For decades, still riding on our blood, sweat, and tears
And today, there is still a gaping pain in our hearts
Today, will there be a political transformation?
Will we ever be enshrined by a system that will protect us from the wrongs?
I am no pro, nor am I anti government indirectly influenced by any comments or relationships
I'm just opinionated, overwhelmed and really looking forward to the change of regime - if not the world, at least domestic regime
We have made peace with the Cold War era
At least I think we have
In fact, it should be forgotten
And there should be no repeat of anti-regime insurrections, civil wars, tribal conflicts and whatnot
Often they'd say it's just the complexity of domestic politics
Influenced by the dynamics of international politics
I'd say it's just another one man plight who unfortunately is deep in his uncertain principles

And a joke of a wife - says, everyone.
But just shut the fuck up, kind sir
SHUT THE FUCK UP
