Endless creatural fabrications
Teasing with empty words
Half-baked opinions,
Unthought through thoughts,
As mules playing hordes
With pale, unexciting words.

Incorrigible scribblers
Hungry for undue approval
Fearing disapproval
Thirsty for undue pleasure
Fearing due displeasure
Measuring one's 'literate wits'
With a self-invented measure,
Cherishing centering around self
Scribbled 'treasure'...

(In unceasing cranial motions
Still, unsifted, unweighed emotions
Feckless paper - pen commotions...)

Never-ending reiterations,
Duplications, replications...
Not ready for illuminating thought
Makings of amorphous brain,
Cogitations rich vein
Yet, dismally insane...
With polluted interiority
Uneager to face, germ-infested
Self-created mediocrity...

Unready for undying thought
Unheated by fiery
Illuminating Spirit
And creative
Hand Omniscient
To feed on a pasture lush
Literary and otherwise land decent...
