It is not that hard
to ignore what you don't know.
Much harder is to ignore
what you know.

But it's worth it.
Peter Balkus Mar 10
It's still cold outside,
so why are the birds singing
so joyfully and so loudly?

Still freezing out there,
so why are the flowers blooming?
I don’t understand.

The hope is still cursed,
so why am I writing this poem,
like it was my first?

Car
You don't really need a car,
do you?

Prisoners
know more about freedom
than us.
Peter Balkus Mar 6
Desire to
desire less -
like fire,
which burns my flesh

and soul.
Peter Balkus Mar 6
Meditation
is the process of removing
goals.
Peter Balkus Mar 5
We clearly see the illusion of material things.
We simply choose to ignore it,
hoping for getting approval from above.

It doesn't matter how high we think of ourselves,
how high we hold our heads.
At the end of the day,
we are equally invisible to the night.
