I Love No More

Since my very childhood
Till, my love lives, I found
Mimic them as I matured

By looking at the work-overload

S.O.B.
labyrinth Jan 2022
I thought, taking a pause
When my wife told me
How farsighted he was
Mr. Fyodor Dostoevsky

She was, above all, talking about
How rightly he caught the current
It’s a masterpiece, there’s no doubt
His book, Crime And Punishment

I believe most his depictions
Are of those of a philospher
But calling it good prescience
Is a wrong business altogether

What he catches is not the future
But the essence of human, which
Has sadly an unchangable nature
It is still evil and of *******

L.I.I.T.A.

When I say
Love is in the air
I don’t mean it’s near me
Or it’s around the corner
Like most of you would
I mean it in a way more like;
The bird’s in the air
The plane’s in the air
The spaceship’s in the air
Without cursing at the planner
Yet, in an unreachable manner

I know that the time
Will ultimately come
When we “all” feel
The butterfly’s ordeal
When we “all” grieve
For a dying old tree
Let alone the men
Things will be different then
Happiness, rather than a goal
Will be the mood of every soul

The Hamburger
labyrinth Nov 2021
I know sweetheart
You want to talk about ***
And some new clothes next
Or the hamburger we had last night
That was really something by the way
Thick, tender, juicy and all
We should go there next week
It makes my mouth water as we speak
Or the new girl at the office
The way she talks and dresses
Or that new app and whatnot
But I have matters on my mind
Matters of importance, you know
Climate, racism, pandemics
Injustice, and all other polemics
The liberal problems of the free world
Bunch of greed ******* in other words
And, even though what I think or write
Makes no blind bit of difference…
Even though nobody gives a rat’s ***
I still got to stay in these thoughts, or else
The only thing I’m left with
Is this ******* sense of guilt

Just Because
labyrinth Nov 2021
Just because you will never be held
Accountable by the unborn face to face
A child who’s to come, yet more like expelled
Say; hundred years from now in this case

Just because you’ll never look him in the eye
Or answer his questions on the nature abuses
In the name of the reasons you had at the time
You and I both know, they were ******* excuses

Just because you can avoid that encounter
You think you can treat the globe the way you do
I’m just gonna ask to nail the lie to the counter
Tell me *******! What does that make you?

CLIMATE APOCALYPSE
labyrinth Nov 2021
This is not even a poem, call it a brief story
Showing you how bad the situation will be

Doers and Watchers, as far as I can see
Are sole perpetrators of this class 1 felony,

I’ve tried to portray them as simple as possible
So every single one of you can hold them responsible

Let’s take a deeper look, we may find a solution
Before we die in this environmental pollution

Clean is such a nice word, especially with air
Some purposely don’t get it, mainly profiteer

I’m having hard time to understand how come
People neglect seeing the devastating outcome

The whole ecosystem is simply breaking down
We’re stuck in this weary, alarming countdown

Earth’s been around for 4.5 billion years
In a couple of centuries, wounds in all spheres

Technology is fine I guess, gave us a new angle
It’s the ******* money we just can’t handle

The elite won’t lift a finger for the sake of masses
But soon they’ll have to do it to cover their *****

Greedy, hungry, and egocentric *******
Urging climate apocalypse, these money masters

I’ve seen their honor is melting down faster
Than the arctic region. Now, that’s real disaster

Trying to accumulate cash, power and chairs
With purposely ignoring the world’s real heirs

Think about it! Because of their advantageous nature
The only crowds of this devastating future

Are innocent kids along with the youngsters
Only if they can survive these cruel gangsters

The mathematics whispers in my ear saying that
If part of the surplus that these rich ***** had

Could be used against, say; global-warming
There would be no need for any prior warning

To save the mother earth from any danger
Before we turn it into a toxic stranger

Or else people will extinct with a lot of money
I know it sounds sad but also pretty funny

The end seems close, maybe in our life time
I honestly cannot think of a bigger crime

We’re not even aware of that. It’s a crying shame
Like we got nothing to do with it and aliens are to blame

Green and blue are both becoming pale gray
Few mind that, the rest turn their eyes away

It is already costing us a pretty ******* penny
Why wait for digging graves for more than many

We need to change the dictionary we’re using
It is self-destructive and nature-abusing

A good bank for instance is next to a river
Internalize that well, thus you can deliver

Why talk about climate? What’s with all the huff?
How about hunger, poverty and bunch of other stuff

I’m not saying that they are not of vital importance
Come to think of it though, the order of precedence

Suggests nature first, because without mother-earth
No nothing else will ever have a date of birth

Don’t listen to politicians, those blatant factions
And without-further-ado, take necessary actions

It means a lot to terra, it can’t thank you enough
Believe me, none of this is fuss, nor is there a bluff

Convincing even one soul, I mean, a single person
Before above troubles deepen and/or worsen

Cannot be underestimated. Nor can it be judged
Enough with negligence. Nothing’s left to be fudged

This lone writing hopefully, aiming at the subject
May encourage someone to rise and further object

It’s up to you my friend to give a **** or not
This humble work proves that I have at least tried

Other methods were tested and results were pathetic
That’s why Labyrinth’s warning you in a way so poetic

You might as well quit. But what if you liked the skit.
If so, be my guest and start spreading it
It felt like the time for re-posting
