Kafkaesque

Kafkaesque

As in a novel by Kafka
Set in dreary Prague
Derelict drop outs
Congregate like lemmings
In classrooms of dogma

Beauty crucified on black boards
Bleeding chalk in frigid formulas
Dissected for autopsy
By Distopian doctors
In sterile scrubs

could be a poem about Guantanamo.......I like the emphasis the alliteration provides........

Saw, my imagination sometimes leaps into the bizarre. I could see this applying to Guantanamo or other Distopian cultures.

spiritual always seems to lag behind logical, technical advance, but I'm sure that's only my imagination...

Mnaz, your imagination is usually right on. In this case there is certainly no doubt of it.
