Meaninglessness Meanings -

Do you know how
they did it? How
they killed him? How,
after all these years,
his run on freedom
was cut short?

How Easily?

So easily they could not
figure it out; not
with their doctors, not
with their priests, not
with their councilors, not
with their lawyers. No -
it was far too easy for these
to see, to kill. So how
did they do it? They put him
in a box. They bound him
with rules,
and with routines.

Wrapped in the strangle-hold
of conventions - and rituals;
the endless grind of the nine-
to-five, boxed and buried
alive - completely wired
to ensure the ceaseless
awareness of the eternal mind

numbing

dust

of emptiness.

Steeped
in the stew of mediocrity,
they killed him as they kill
all who are swaddled
in the lascivious, and wanton,
indulgence - of existence.
And they kill with nothing
more than a chain of non-
thought and the meaning
of the meaninglessness
of it all...
