A thousand voices shout
Inside my head
Like a Scrabble board
All words jumbled.
I live many lives
And watch my own
As a nonchalant bystander.
I'm a parasite
That feeds on the joys and pains
Of others.
I call myself a poet...
But all I do is steal
And fiddle.
From morning, I stole dew
And spinned the earth
A full circle
To steal a night.
I borrowed dreams
Created nightmares
But never slept.
Sometimes, I flow with the breeze
But mostly, I'm that stagnant stale city
That recycles itself
Through cheap marketing gimmicks.
Set the parchments on fire.
Saba
