Reprise

After umpteen efforts 

to reconcile and reboot 

the (in)human system, 

with an expectation 

of better tomorrow 

and to set the things right 

with the 'may be' biased 

and believed reality, 

my altered ego began to burst 

and crumble 

before silly arguments 

and the future 

instead of getting better 

started to worsen. 

Rebooting at times 

doesn't help treat viruses. 

Positive efforts at times 

boomerang 

and culminate into 

unexpected outcomes.

 

Reprising doesn't help 

when uprising alarms 

and poorly designed dogmas 

get into 

renditioning panagyric hymes.

All the crumblings connive 

and portray palpable perfidy, 

ill intentioned effervescence, 

and inchoately sounding tunes 

for the dumb ears 

and for them

who had invested the fortune 

for poorly priced return.

Self-satisfying reprise, 

of the self, 

for the self, 

by the self.
