I had to laugh. I was walking down avenue P (not a metaphor of any kind, I was actually walking down avenue P) I received a text telling me to uncover the mirrors in my life because a co-worker had just been given the promotion I had been working towards and in my mind deserved. Now I was told that I should congratulate this person, to whom I I have spoken with at most, 100 words in my life, for his success. I had to laugh at the absurdity of it all. I know now that this is all a prank being pulled on me. A joke being told to a joker. This world is truly upside down, backwards and actuality has been compromised by bizarro reality. It's a virus being passed around and it causes distorted truths. Air is like water to the deep breath, water like fire for the thirsty and the sun emits darkness to the Earth. We have been hypnotized. Brainwashed and zombified into walking these streets expecting fresh air and sunshine only to be met by this wet darkness. Empathy is a hashtag and a posted call for prayers. Violence is expected and peace will never be true. It's gone and it's been gone for a while. I'm just riding the F train (again, no metaphors here as I am literally on the F train) shaking my head and thoroughly convinced the puppet master is playing a joke on me. #poetry #poems #poem #poemporn#wordporn #poetsofinstagram#poetofinstagram #poembyme #mypoem#mine #writing #writingcommunity #poet#igpoems #igpoem #igpoetry # ig writers#igwriter #original #originalpoem#originalpoems #poetsociety#writersofinstagram #writerofinstagram#writer #authorInstagram
