le chemin confus
by Omar Moqeet*

holier than thou response
the imperfect doesn’t require a hand to save it
from falling off the cliff
the true journey
le chemin confus

of the two roads that diverged in the yellow wood
it is the one most traveled
imagine frost’s surprise

eschew the upper
echelon..
the product of the smokeless flame
the product of mud, and despised water
cousins
pride is proud of his followers
the only creation that would rather
keep their head over the clouds

infancy brings me happiness
i replied to the caller
let the world work in its own devices
while i examine them so i can escape

life takes visa
the only prostitute
that takes credit
freedom leaves me a slave
of desire..
