Zzz zzz : A Short poem

Updated on September 17, 2012

“Zzz zzz” is my another piece of poetic endeavor. I am a free poet. That means, I write to please myself without caring much about other things. It may be of without any quality or poetic value, I know, but I am not a poet at all.

You may ask me what the theme of my poem is. Answer is I do not know! Yes I have written that words which have come to my fingertips. I was in a quiet depressed mood when I wrote this. Now you reader should read and judge the poem. You shall say what my theme is not I.



ZZZ ZZZ


My name is zzz zzz,

Living in a dead city under a dead sky

Where I flew like a mechanical fly

Over the stones which were once a hill;

A hill proud of its green

And the lives seen unseen.


I am zzz zzz

Living a life full of nothing,

A life multiplied by zero;

In the streets I’ve seen the eyes

Looking at me to see nothing

Zzz is the zombie.


Somewhere in some barren land

Shadows uncountable covers light

The wheel of civilization

Turnig and turning and turning

A flameless cold fire burning

Sounding “zzz zzz zzz”.


Being born only to die

And seeing time passing by

Nothing to do but to wait

For the dreadful hour

Like the Cigarette filter

Only to be thrown away.

In the streets of the city

I’ve seen the faces

Faces that are dying a thousand

Painful deaths crucified in a Tesla tree;

No effort to go out

To break free.

Like the Cigarette filter Only to be thrown away.
Like the Cigarette filter Only to be thrown away.

I am zzz zzz

And I have seen the flicker

Of my greatness living deep inside;

My soul once tried to fly

Like the dragons of Daenerys

Over the exotic fields of Essos.


Sleep that overloads me never comes

Alcohol unable to make colorful

The shapeless landscape to my eyes,

Centuries are passing by

I can feel their slow, slow movement,

A stone is what I am.
