I sat by,
the railway station,
young people,
with pride flags,
and costumes,
had fun,
minding their own business

I thought:
it's beautiful
perhaps there's hope,
after all,
buried,
somewhere deep

then curtain came down,
for no reason known,
duo of drunks,
spoiled their fun,
yet hope seemed alive,
this time,
it was the bully,
who ran

short time after,
a man,
cigarette on his lips,
that somebody else,
had already smoked,
drank an ice-cube,
from plastic bubble tea cup,
that somebody else,
had already consumed

and I thought:
hope truly sleeps,
perhaps too deep

check-
mate,
by a move of pawn

now
human rights,
cries till dawn

please, please
reset the game,
I beg for,
one more go

a chance to see
whether the game,
will be the same

to bearers of suffering,

and their poems;

the sole witness they ever had

Love is a harbour,
Oh god, Amor!
Almost wrote another love poem...

Love is a Haven,
Oh goddess, Amen!
Well-nigh wrote another love poem

If a battle within,
you dare not win,

Underneath iron dome,
lies truth of humanity,

between ask uncle elon and delusion,
lies truth of humanity,

somewhere in you, truth of humanity,
lies

read Bukowski
make mistakes that twists your gut,
lay on the shower floor,
so cold, even warm water doesn't help,
make eye contact, when you're death afraid,
drop out of school,
lose some friends,
how else would you learn life
