40-a once upon a time friend

In the tempestuous sea of ideas that r urs,yet not urs aloneOf grieviences that r urs, nay not urs alone
Somewhere hidden beneath lies a spring
spewing forth venom…..
the need to overpower, to condemn…
the need to emerge victorious over naught
To all appearances straightforward though u may seem
the Ugliness at the Core shows thru my friend
What once was, which I thought was scattered all over
was but encased in a bowl, which has now overturned
in a whirlpool in the tempestous sea
Gone..Gone…down in the whirlpool
…or down the drain???
The friendship that once was has come to naught
Burnt in the incense cup
To rise up in smoke and intoxicate u
to feed ur insatiable ego
Ur craving for what I can see is an illusory power
U r running after a shadow
Ever confident u have the world on ur palmtop
While I can see….what u hold is a crystal marble
that will fall one day and crash….
