Frustrated I stood in front
of the God to Pray,
And asked him why lunatics
are increasing day by day.
Why there is scarcity
of people in a synagogue,
Why popping up of
Prozac is in a vogue.
Why people look as they
are coming from morgue,
Why all minds are clouded
by the depression's fog.
Then, God appeared suddenly
with his mischievous smile,
And he started to speak
in his inimitable style:
"Son! this earth is nothing
but asylum of the universe
But for marketing my poets
described it in beautiful verse.
But most fools are the people
who claim to be wise,
And labors to turn this asylum
in a pretty paradise.
But thing which fills me
with a gaiety and mirth,
Is your construction of an
asylum within an asylum earth."
"Do you know why this asylum
earth is devoid of joy and fun?
Because men who turned wise
are poisoned or shot by guns.
Unless and until you
immediately rectify your error,
This earth cannot be freed from
madness, anxiety and terror.
Benumbed by god's answer
I immediately left his premise,
In order to prevent becoming
one more mad wise.

Diazepam…clonazepam…resperidone …tricyclic antidepressant et al…are most sought after Rx by docs…its ‘Global-Depression’…God has kept options...hedonism or humanism…we’re to choose…
The later group on Divine Crèche...well the former …you’ve explicitly described…thanks Sir for such a contemplative…vibe
10//10 [for humanism]

Your writing features a touch of satire, alongside a deep and melancholy awareness of the bad forces around us - loved the read

Not surprising your pain shows in this confession;
It has also something to do with your profession.
Mankind's story is littered with woes;
Do I believe in God? God knows.

Doctor Doctor please help me do
get me a ticket to escape with you
all these bankers and brokers blind
they keep trying to sell me
a credit card mind,
the mortgage is paid I'm no longer in debt
and the credit card woman just wants me to sweat....lol love your poems...John
