Tyrant and the chocolate mousse

Tyranny is human made

and so is the chocolate mousse

or mobile phones or sleeping pills

excessive chocolate mousse in its larger impact

may get appointment to the dentist

closer to a cozy dinner

with a loved one

a tyrant's fury may leave you emotionally naked

and physically wounded

the exhaustion can look like death

or a hazy perception of 

something bigger taken away

that something bigger

is plain and simple life

in its mundane as well as interesting forms

of calling the plumber when the hose is leaking

or to call mother on mother's day

or to genuinely get hung over when it was not needed

the tyrant takes it all away

all it takes is a simple word - hate

mobile phones come in various technically incomprehensible jargon

while the tyrant disseminates

the very sense of the breath

that keeps us alive

tyrant looks like a human

while a pastry chef is a human,

or the person who works at the car clean shop

we have forgotten one thing

in the bargain of knowing the truth

that the residue of truth

is sabotaged by those

who look like us

and think like the uncouth specimen of life

I would rather go through the 

suffering of a dental appointment

than giving a hero's welcome

in my thoughts

to someone whose

second nature is

creating self annihilation
