"What's wrong with this age? I'm consuming my last days Wondering about the yesteryear That has swiftly passed away. Now I see that your minds are unclear, Your faces are emotionless. You, the young, you've lost your direction And happiness." "Yep man, there must be something wrong If we think we're cool when We spend our nights boozing with friends, Getting sloshed and getting smashed, Taking drugs and getting ****** Man, this is the key to forgetfulness. What's wrong with this age then? We do want to bury our sadness."

What's wrong with this age?
I'm wondering why the sun shines again, And again it warms my skin. I'm wondering why I hear the whispering wind, And I feel it's caressing my hair. I'm wondering why I'm full of joy again When I hear someone who's laughing. I'm wondering why I feel so alive. But there's no need to wonder why. I only want to thank you 'Cause you gave me the key to life.

I'm wondering why
A maze made of streets, They bend and twist And go nowhere. They're too huge so you get lost. Then, narrower and narrower, They softly suffocate you. A jungle made of buildings, Benches and streetlights And cafès and noise. The City wants you. She clearly calls you With her siren voice. A cobweb of thoughts, it hangs in your mind: "All the efforts have come to nought, The overwhelming daily grind." Then a little path appears, A path that goes backwards. The only way to escape. It's made of bright memories And friendly faces. It's the need to go back And search for cosy places. It's the need to find ourselves.

Nostos
Space is small: Unnatural Fear of Faintness Overcomes you. Caged like An animal There you are. Intake of breath. Oxygen lacks. Numb now you are.

Claustrophobia
Persecution is stalking me. A blank future, its only child. Rumblings of woe, it's all I see, A world which is nothing but mild. Nonetheless, I cherish this picture Of doom and looming menace. I deem it a heaven-sent treasure, A cure for my insecurity crevice.

Paranoia mon amour
In the morgue, the aseptic light Was flickering upon it; The livid, bruised, black and blue Lying body of Love. -Honey, It's dead, you see! -Yes, sweetheart, but how did we Come to this? -Pass me the lancet and Then we'll see. A sharp cut was made on The right temporal lobe of the brain; The synaptic membranes were Damaged, the reciprocal nerve-racking Jealousy had made the brain collapse. A big incision was made upon The ribs: into the lungs no more The vital breath of Love, only water And mud were clogging the alveoli. Love had drowned in the sea of adultery. The last deep cut was made upon The heart: the still valves and Ventricles hadn't pumped Blood and passion for long. So, there's nothing else to do, My dead love!
