Musing with anxiety

Blotted red on humanity dove

Dry marrows of hollow bone

Crushed life petals in comma

Souls weep for tragic end of love.

Adore of negatives by society

Quaint presence of only aggression

Fastened with the lace of apathy and hate

Culture and progress muse with anxiety.

Interesting play of emotion words in relation to society, trying to get a reading on our zeitgeist. I really like the last line, "Culture and progress muse with anxiety." Thank you, manoj.
