lily..

lily is on the stage
to a multitude- funny and rough
a simple sage..

to tell the truth
the lion in a cage
an ancient youth

in a cynical age
(of never enough)
a lonely maze

off the cuff
and in a daze
in a rage

in a craze-
what is all this effing hate
these lonely days

this division, mates!
this divided way
what to say?

ii

i mean we have information
coming out the *****
cameras that talk

a selection of hamburgers..
what do we want
when we imagined a future

iii

love and computers
there was something to do
there was a cure

we assumed the dilemma
happy our finger tip
pip-pip..

iv

so quick did then become now
i can´t tell you
but i had nothing then

and i had nothing when
and i accumulated the same
and hope is how..

My sweet woman

You are a cryer
A manipulative liar
A wicked witch
A nasty *****
I will not understate
these are
Your good traits.
You leave a trail
Of disaster
There’s no
stopping
You as you
get faster.
Nitroglycerin runs
Through your veins
If I get to close
I will suffer the pain.
Yippee .

after the fall

The furrows of Life

The narrow way leading up to the farm from the main
the road had a gate, so cattle could not wander off to
the main road getting. The way had three furrows, two
caused by a narrow cartwheel and one- much wider- from
the horse´s hoofs. Deep furrows meant a hard-working
farm. The landscape was flat and often windy on my
way to school, I tried to walk where the horses had trod
the soil was softer there, the horseshoe patterns told
me if it had been a small or big horse that last had pulled
a cart here if the load had been heavy
A useless knowledge, I often wonder
Why do I remember it so clearly
like a black-and-white photo?
Lately, I have been remembering this dirt road
the people and animals
I often wonder if there is a message here
I have overlooked it.

Healing

The healing
is in the silence-
you needn't struggle
nor engage in thinking

The Success Formula

It's not enough--zeal-
you need faith, patience
consistency and steadfastness
at your very heel

My Dear Poet 7h

Lies

there’s always two sides to a story
yet there is no shape with just two sides
so when you shape your story
you’d need to tell another lie

Do Ponder upon This

WHAT ANIMALS THINK ABOUT US

Thought a dog, though they bark like me, mankind is very far from being faithful

Wondering was a cat, they have enough food, yet, just like me, they steal

A fox said, " I am shocked! Men are much more cunning than I am, n most ungrateful too"

A croc felt disgusted, when he saw a man attacking another, stabbing his back

A Chamillion was amazed; *** how can a man change so many colors n that too, so efficiently n quickly!!!

We seriously need to rethink n reconsider; is this our decline??? Shouldn't we improve???
