Life’s everyday challenges
pressing business meetings
expiry dates on foodstuff
sales slips filed to keep for
guarantees on equipment
electronic gizmos.
People adopted the culture
of politicians:
Lies lies lies
and live with them.
Into this quagmire of
hypocritical life
artists remain the seekers
for truth
having experienced the
roller coaster ride on the
social playgrounds.
The higher the position
the greater the downfall
hurts
but by the skin of his teeth
the artist survives
yet pretenders spread
their powers in moonless
nights.
Spouses shout to each other
with four syllable words
some women resort to
banging doors shut
freaking out with
market-jargon.
