The Pedestrian Poem

Mad World

By Tony Qu

I once thought of the world I used to live in

Once  belonged,

Communicated and was communicated to,

Loved and was loved.

But where is all that now?

I walk down this empty street

A boulevard of captured souls

Not too long ago were we drifting spirits

Freed from the cursed boxes

How did we get here?

I wonder.

These abandoned streets

Patrolled by a police

No, that was before

A robot,

It stops me in my tracks and arrests me for walking.

A mad world we truly live in.

No longer is there passion or desire                    

A human’s will to live for a purpose                                   

No anxiousness for tomorrow                                                        
A mad world,

Caged within itself.
