oxygen
Lev Kurman Oct 2013
Every day when I wake up I
exchange any hope I have for
Air to keep me breathing
and oxygen to get me seeing
Things that may or may not be there
Because in reality we can't
Comprehend what we observe so
we simplify and rationalize everything
     to a point where There is No Point
           In going to our dull unfulfilling
                               office jobs, because who really cares
                                          what quantity and type of paper you want
what about a
purpose behind life,
what about the
void in our Soul
I’m not interested in what he said, she said
I’m not interested in the newest celebrity news,            
I want to find hope but every morning I exchange                        
It for air to keep me
alive

scars
Lev Kurman Oct 2013
we endlessly search
for something to give us meaning
in every newly turned page
in every unexplored street corner
we look
but to no avail
we do not desire gold
nor love
but to leave a mark on the world
that is not a scar
