Scribbles

The world is just like a cabbage
layer after layer, peeling off every moment
umpteen empty faces grasping for breath
jostling for a foothold, running frantically
Who likes tortoise these days,
when like ATMs, stardom kiosk litters the earth
smoke ideologies, rape innocence
be a star or get lost
