Stifling Days

The days have been too harsh

An unspoken uneasiness in the air

Darkness fails to soothe the bad temper

Unholy nexus of polluted air

Traps the sweltering heat for too long

Modern cities look dreary due to faulty designs

Dreams wish to reach the skies

Although, dwelling in the concrete confines

Finding life’s short-cuts to elevated status

To fulfill lofty desires with the push of a button

Instant gratification and exuberance of success

Heady concoction seeps through fault lines

Flows into the infinite abyss of dark desires©
