Oh! Woe is me!
You're as warm as the summer breeze.
For you, O’ democracy! I take a knee.
In my solitude, I walk along the sea.
blackened polluter
smog saluter
human obscene
Lifes purpose goes unseen
As my life is ripped apart at the seams
Oh! Woe is me!
I am soothing my heart within a shell,
but it echoes, merely static ocean.
Howling winds blow as my woes remain, unattended.
Life lived in vain
Me thinks "No one else like me be!"

Woe! This is good ;) Feels like I'm walking along the sandy tidal lines..
"Lifes purpose goes unseen" -- Perhaps indeed, yet you've created the imagery in this poem splendidly! Relating to remaining within the hollow shell and: "Life lived in vain"
Yup not alone in that dwelling. This is an emotive write to the woes of an albeit cliche yet ominous existential Truth that burdens us all and the planet. Thanks for sharing, thumbs up!

Thank you! I feel like, even "parody" itself is such a cliche response; as poetry is old. Yet, I agree that no matter the age truth can be written. Let's search for new ways!

Well put! Poetry may be old but this can also make it sacred; a connection we artists of life all share :))
You have brought new ways of parodying the “same ol’ truths” with this poem; it was well worth the cliche as long as there are others who may relate!
