Poem: “Absurdity” by Prince Quality

ABSURDITY

My views are absurd

They steam from sad

This boiling pot

Blacker that kettle

Tattletale the ship sunk

I think I’m power drunk

Staggering between

Sanity and insanity…

Sadness

Nothing makes sense

Senselessness

It is utter madness

To take anything

With a pinch of salt

Watch salt the movie

Nothing is moving

It’s music cicadas

Chirping in my ears

Turning me into

This monster

Murdering the crow

I’ve a crow with art

I’ve a bee with the bonnet

Some y’all copy cats

The cats paw

Slams into a rat raw

Why steal the maze

Saying what in confidence

A friend confessed

Client privilege

The priest lawyer

Doctor you know what

You know period

This is a void

I’m the absurdism…

It is queer

As the deer

Trapped in headlights

Off goes the cheetah

The liars hung a seed

In the web of need

There is not much to it

Reader look for meaning

All this heap of words

Imagination jumbled

The bee in a mumble

Wasps visit the hive…

Cut the tongue

It is a spade

To bury all beliefs

To give all reliefs

It’s not that bad

Being deaf sad

Unlike blind groping

Looking for love

In the wrong places

Like the races

Where the losing horse

Is yours beauty

The beautiful fail

To please the mirror

Sent to jail

Find me with a book

Writing my life in crime

Making this time

On a lost planet

Align with the star

Telescope vision afar

I’ve traveled the absurd

To arrive at the shocking

It fades away with time.
