Blahsphemy

Gone are the days when you could buy death for a few dollars, lamented the dictator. Nukes have been banned, AIDS cured, earthquakes predicted... what a shame.

Our lives have become exotic movies without any subtitles. You speak. I speak. They say. No one understands what we say. Nor do we understand them.  

You better hurry, the world is ending. You smiled, I cried. We were on a spaceship to nowhere.  

A tea bag died its natural death The hot water was blessed with its soul My morning has started screamed the brain As taste buds welcomed the warm brew

   I am bored. These placid waters are sucking the soul out of me. It's eating me from inside. I long for a waterfall. I long for a flood. I long for a storm. Look at these fools unwinding on my banks. Wait till I am my fierce self once again.
