A Sad Brief On Corona

Colleagues, family, friends
Potential causes of your death

I don’t mean it like the hometown

Wishful Thinking

To keep progressing
On the good things
Is a good thing, I admit
And we totally need it
On the other hand
My beloved friend
What if we learn
How to unlearn
The bad things
Wars, greed, lying…
That alone is nothing less
Than the biggest progress

You will lose a good 60 seconds reading this
A 60 seconds that will not go amiss
The average life expectancy
For humans is 79 years nowadays
You probably already said; “so what”
Let me put it this way
If you were to live for 79 years
From the day you were born
That means you actually have
Two Billion,
Four Hundred Ninety One Million,
Three Hundred Forty For Thousand Seconds
By the time you read this?
Well! I don’t know!
All I know is that
Some of us spend these seconds
Lying, cheating, fighting, stealing
Frustrating over their sorry *****
Or letting others hurt themselves
While some others spending them
Learning, teaching, sharing
Laughing, chilling
Transcending and loving
Don’t get me wrong.
I’m just saying, you know?
You are free to choose either path
Now, at least, you know the math

A P O C R Y P H A L
labyrinth Mar 2021
20 years ago American Army
Invaded Iraq to find WMD
For some reason, they couldn’t locate any
Finding non-existing bombs wasn’t that easy
Well, they have stayed anyway
They’ve been doing it to this day
Rather than sticking with the actual
They fell for “the counterfactual”
That way, I guess, they were able to protect
World peace and the home democracy, intact
Who cares if Iraqi death-toll already reached millions
We have bigger problems, like a handful of DC bullies
Everything else is under control
That of course is inclusive of petrol
I see that there is no such thing as an innocent government
But with White-House? All hunger-games and manhunt
I, by the way, am ready to hear any counter-views
As long as the truth is what your word pursues
Unless someone objects any of the above
Can I use my turn to get real mad now?
I hope we all know by now that American People and American Government are two seperate stories. I truly, utterly hate politics. However; when you look around, see all the damage, it is really hard not to talk about politics. All I can hope is that I was able to express that nuance (as in between people and the government) well.

A Political Secret
labyrinth Dec 2022
Crowds are too easy to manage
Who is by you is always a stranger
All’s designed to rulers’ advantage
None’s trained to smell out danger

ONE
labyrinth Mar 2021
ONE
Two is easy
So is three
Four, five
A hundred is easier
Or a million for that matter
One is the whole challenge
One, that is
It is I, me, myself in Roman Numerals
One is beginning
One is prologue
One is wholeness
One is unity
One is love
One is the whole story
When you become two
With any who
That means you is still you
On the other hand
When you become one
With anything or anyone
Say, a loved one
A special someone
Say a good one,
Say an instrument maybe
Or maybe a research of cure for cancer
Say anything you like
That’s where the adventure starts
One is everything
One is the whole story
One is one
The rest is made up of ones
Nothing like any other one
One is the world
One is the peace
One is God
One is Godlessness
One is universe
One is empty
As empty as none can ever be
One is everything
One is nothing
Nothingness counts by the way
More than you can imagine
Yet, one matters even more
If it wasn’t for one
Nothing would come to existence
And maybe never did
Have you become one
Or are you still half
Unfinished
Incomplete
Ungraduated
Still pending
Raw, Green, Unripe, Immature
Short, Missing, Lacking, Partial
Are you with me?
Are you listening to me?
Listen to me good
We all try to be one
First within the self
Then with anything or anyone
Listen to me
Listen to me good
Listen to me good my little one

GODS

I don’t know who your god is
Jahveh, Buddha, Allah or Jesus
If you keep him on personal level
You’ll have a better fight with the devil

If your home’s where your god lives
It will bring justice and peace
If you two start going out, wandering
Things will soon get very troubling

Aesthetics
labyrinth Jun 2022
Hugging in every single hand
Following every single score
Must be directly banned
From men’s volleyball
😊
labyrinth May 2023
Monkeys must be trained at once
To take care of all the secondary jobs
In exchange for bananas
They ought to wash the cars
Wait tables, clean homes, pump gas
And do the shifts in our factories
That’ll make the world less *******
For Joe Public. That’s first
The rich’s wealth must be given away
To the poor until the discrepancy
Comes down the three times
To the rich’s favor immediately
That’ll end the class discrimination
That’s justice. And that’s second
Finally three fourth of people
Should be annihilated right away
So there are enough resources
For the remaining inhabitants
Because if not,
The robots are coming.
To take care of one and three
As in, there will be no “you”
To benefit the “two”

they’ll further compensate
with an unprecedented rebate
