"Where the fuck am I?", I wonder as I wake up at a place where I obviously didn't sleep last night. Still half zonked under the sedative. I lift myself up, rubbing my eyes to get a clearview of the place. To my surprise, al i see is "nothing". The ground beneath is dry. Barren.
"How did I land here ?! And what kind of God forbidden place is this?" No trees. No people. No signs of life. Had i owned a microscope, i'd have searched for the single cellular beings too. I was so goddamn desperate. Like a storm just uprooted everything. Everything living. And a drought hit it later for desserts. Funny. Even the skies seemed dead.
I begin to walk in hope of finding somethin'. Maybe somethin to eat too. "I'm hungry as a hyena !! So you know what? I can't even laugh !!", I scream in rage. Then feel as though i'm missing out on something. Just can't remember exactly what. But there's somethin i know. Waving off those thoughts, I concentrate on the matter in hand.
"Gotta find my way out of this wretched place. But first gotta find out where the fuck am I ?!"
"Hello!! Anybody there? Knock knock? Kaboom !!!"
"Okay. Enough of Hide n Seek. Come out or I come after you!" I'm insane. Really. And today, for the zillionth time in my life, I don't make sense. And neither does my life.
Wherever I turn my head to, i can't see any change 'round me. Its like this place is stuck. Stuck in time. Maybe stuck in a bad moment it once went through. Somethin it couldn't get over for some rhyme or reason. "Yeah, right! What am I thinkin?! Gonna snooze this think tank for a while now."
I continue my walk in search of the unknown. Wow. Always wanted to say this. Then a pebble hurts my feet. Bam bam!! And i realise that i'm bare feet. "Oh, Great! The Bare-Footed Moron of This Evacuated Barren Land !!"
"Should've drugged myself with my shoes on. Curse me ! And curse this wretched and already cursed place !!"
Having said that, I realise how easily I lose everything. Hope. Temper. Girlfriends. Not like I want them for long.
Deciding to walk a bit more further, I brace myself up and march like a soldier, humming my favorite Forgotten Dregs song..
"O when the blue fire crackers light the red ones,
the world goes bursting with each n every burn..
And when the job is done,
they sing the same song,
on top of their voice,
they love to sing it wrong..."
I halt after a while as I feel totally drained. Having sat down, I look around in vain. Such a dreaded place. Now I feel like no one must've even lived over here. Its like the development plan of this place slipped out of God's mind. Maybe even He was bored. Or maybe He wanted someone else to go about playin' "Creator" for a change. Us. Well, Maybe this is why the world was never perfect. Why the world still is not perfect. Goodnight.
