smooth silver bullets/around the round table
smooth poem

put in the corner, the shooting started
silver bullets, well stocked with wrong words
information withheld to observe behaviour
with scrupulously malicious intent
that was what mattered most
not facts
although they were necessary to understand
the entire endeavour
was based on a laptop, pen and paper
for the whole situation to smooth over
all too twisted smithereens
shuffled outside the rules
for this game to end
should I decide or someone else?
enforced with its manpower
spread in as many directions as the premises
allow forgetting the most important thing
that we are gathered here because of me
they did it because of me
all these stupid things
humiliated and hindered I have become
smoothness has gone astray thanks to their methods
body language has deteriorated
sank into oblivion
unlike the one presented by them
in different light and shade
opposite to mine
I desperately searched for something to hold on to
a piece of smooth furniture surface
but they were all rough
with all the grease and grime soaking into my skin
and not letting me breathe
in the same air at the round table
I guess we couldn’t pull it through
as there were no corners to turn to
stuck in one place
on the verge of collapse
from the biggest imbroglio
