Among the many problems
beset upon a Heart of Gold
is that many claim to own it,
seeking to sell it for themselves.
I'm glad that the news of Dadaab refugee camp staying open is ahead of Donald Trump's name on the BBC website, for now.
Yet, I am dismayed that the news about new Dead Sea Scrolls falls behind his name.

What a state of affairs!

Most corrupt people
are already rich,
their hunger is much
harder to satisfy.

I believed in Karma
But often times I think many powerful people has avoid it
By merely starving the hungry.
Karma is good, yet it takes time, longer or shorter it may seems…
It always starts in small doses.
Mine became a life of chaos
Lived on the edge of a knife
Balanced for eternity
Caught between death and life

In the end the fear of living
Burned me to the very core
Without my anaesthetic
I knew I could take no more

There was no fight left in me
I had no heart that I could give
I had no way of surviving
It cost me too much to live

Into a well of silence
I breathed a desperate prayer
Uncertain of an answer
Or who might be out there

As I listened in confusion
The solution came to me
Live a life of honesty
The truth could set me free

So I stepped in the future
I discovered my true worth
And after the death of winter
Came spring my season of rebirth
Last of the seasonal quartet about life; depression and addiction
