As long as “you” is not from
A different color,
A different neighborhood,
A different class,
A different religion
A different income level
A different political party
A different country
Especially that of a third-world
A different gender
Especially that of a third one
Do not, at all, worry
You’re loved here dearly
labyrinth Mar 2021
In search of the enemy
If self is not the start
Most likely that inquiry
Will turn into a witch-hunt
labyrinth Mar 5
After all
I’m just a dot
But I know
That’s a lot
labyrinth Jan 2022
Since we just can’t
See the plain truths
We, ourselves plant
Trees of bitter fruits
labyrinth Mar 2021
The Elite
Dear Sirs
I’ll only have a minute of your time
Please kindly pay attention
I know we both have the right
To vote
To breathe
To walk in the streets freely
To wear whatever we like
To buy coffee from the cafes
To watch ****
To talk with friends
To call mom, or whatever
Fine
Don’t get me wrong
I don’t give a **** about your fancy toys
I don’t mind all that being yours
Your Ferrari,
Your house, nothing short of a palace
Your other possessions for that matter
But
Yes, there is a but!
But
We don’t have an equal say on any critical subject
We are not presented equal opportunities
We are not getting an equal education
And more importantly
We are not equally safe
Now!
Please kindly answer me this
That’s not quite equal
Is it?
You wouldn’t call that equality
Would you?
labyrinth Mar 2021
Ignore working on essence
The two things make sense
For your useless presence
Will be make-up and pretense
labyrinth Oct 2021
Eyes are just the hardware
And good for looking only

Seeing needs the software
Of courage and curiosity
      
If not, all those optic curves
Are a bunch of useless nerves
labyrinth Dec 2022
They call me insensible
Selfish even
Because they think
When you smile
I don’t care
If the rest of the world cries
What they don’t know is
There’s no way I’ll know that
Because when you look happy
The whole world smiles
For thousands of miles
labyrinth Jun 2021
When I think of
The fathers loved
Without even deserving
I conclude that the position
Is rather more important
Than the occupant
labyrinth Oct 2021
You’re the only one
Who understood me
Yet, that was just a
Misunderstanding
A mediocre translation from Turkish colloquial
labyrinth Jun 2022
Providing
A new slant
Takes trying
Till you can’t
labyrinth Jun 2022
A child not raised properly is
The cause of most future ills
labyrinth Feb 2021
When I think or hear about love
It doesn’t, at all, seem to solve
Most our problems
Look at the evidence
Everythin’s getting worse
As time runs its course
labyrinth Apr 2021
In the name of god we invade
We ****, we possess, we hate
And in the name of Love,
We also do all of the above

There is either a huge misunderstanding
Or we know exactly what God Is Love means
labyrinth Apr 2021
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

~In Other Words~

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
labyrinth Apr 2022
You took the goose
I was left with bumps
All hell broke loose
During those slumps
labyrinth Dec 2022
I am so very grateful
That I’m not that grateful
labyrinth May 2022
Nationality
Hence, ethnicity
Initial theology
Type of polity
Level of equality
Education quality
Social hierarchy
Average salary
They’ve all been already
Predetermined for me
Asking for more would really
Be a sheer effrontery
labyrinth Jun 2022
While talking with doctors
I was up for a handshake
For a couple of more years
Say, forty five give or take
labyrinth Jun 2021
Under the rubble
Of heavy greed
The mother trouble
Where others breed
labyrinth May 2023
You sons of *******
You always manipulate
To get more of which is
Already on your plate
labyrinth Jan 2023
What is truth other than
What persons make of it

(Hakikat: Truth in Turkish)
labyrinth Dec 2022
As far as soul’s concerned
The most accurate combo
This is what I’ve discerned
Weakness, flam and limbo
labyrinth Nov 2021
Prejudice
An inner noise
Stops you from hearing

Ignorance
An inner hinderance
Stops you from seeing
labyrinth Oct 2021
Fish rots from the head
And, that being said

Look around you, all the heads
Commanders, bosses, presidents

We are living in **** holes
Created by them filthy souls
labyrinth Jun 2022
When time starts to fly
And it’s not always fast
Eye’s bound to turn blind
Up until everything’s past
labyrinth Jun 2022
Heart cannot be lended
Nor it can be borrowed
You either don’t have it
Or have had it all along
labyrinth Nov 2020
Thales, Aristotle, Plato
Hume, Nietzsche, Rousseau
Da Vinci, Pasteur, Newton
Einstein, Curie, Edison,

Mother Teresa or Yousafzai
Dante, Shakespeare and Rumi
Gandhi, Mandela, Jefferson
Ataturk, Churchill, Washington

Orwell, Freud, Aquinas
Hugo, Dostoyevsky and Marx
Lincoln, Martin Luther King
Galilei, Copernicus and Darwin,

And thousands of more names
Names with the righteous aims
Contributed the most to humanity
Suffering a great deal with dignity

If a poor-fellow, on the other hand
An honest believer, I understand
A Buddhist, Jew, Muslim or Christian
Or member of any other religion

Really thinks going to the same heaven
With the above ladies and gentlemen
By just breathing day in and day out
And thinking it’s enough to be devout

He either got the wrong impression
Or have a problem with discretion
Or else he must be thinking that
Judgment of God is fairly bad

I think there is a way out of this
Find what your true mission is
I know it’s neither money nor chair
A hint: Help, teach, devote and share

Complete it with sincerity
Caress your soul with integrity
Afterwards, even if there is no God
Trust me, you’ll still be on the safe side

They might at least put your name on
A suchlike poem written by someone
Otherwise you’re just a passerby
Producing nitrogen for both soil and sky
labyrinth May 2022
Most are dead already
Long before they died
They are just waiting
Their turn to be fried
labyrinth May 2022
Hold your horses pal
Good or not that well
Eventually it’ll be all
Part of the protocol
labyrinth Oct 2021
Take off your clothes
I wanna talk to you
labyrinth Dec 2022
Hoping
Without coping
Is vain expectancy
With intense idiocy
labyrinth Mar 2021
Just because it is free of charge
People hope in vain by and large
Hoping the hope without awareness
Is, my friend, a bankrupt business
labyrinth Mar 2021
When added onto the ends
Even an ing suffix tends
To make a huge difference
Living vs. life for instance
labyrinth May 2021
Getting to choose whom to be ****** by
Is called democracy instead of lullaby
labyrinth Jan 2021
Don’t you as well wonder why
The rich is hungrier than the poor
Compared to a thief stealing to get by
A wall street big shot is more deceitful

Take all the politicians for instance,
They are so-called leaders, right?
Take a step back and look from distance
You’ll see that their leashes are so tight
labyrinth Feb 2021
I’ll be honest today. No covers
I prepared this virtual bouquet
I love all of you. My dear lovers
Hence, happy Valentine’s Day
I
labyrinth Oct 2021
I
I’m predictable
For some reason I don’t know
I’m so proud of it
labyrinth Mar 2021
It is toward you maybe
Still, though. My love it is
It’s, in other words baby
None of your business
IF
labyrinth Apr 2021
IF
If you take out the letters
“a”, “t” and “h”
From the word “faith”,
And change the order
Of the remaining letters,
You’ll get an “if”
What does that tell you?
It tells me “I’m bored to death”
labyrinth Apr 2021
For a New York minute at least
Put your stupid ignorance aside
Come to your senses. It is the beast
Eating you alive from the inside
labyrinth Sep 2022
Number one cause
Of human death
Is not against laws
You do the math
labyrinth Mar 2021
To show the true affection
Marriages must be banned
People! Hear this interjection
It’s the best poem I ever penned
:)
labyrinth Feb 2021
Love is sacrifice love is action
It is totality yet also fraction
labyrinth Jan 2022
I loved merry-go-rounds
Since my very childhood
Till, my love lives, I found
Mimic them as I matured
labyrinth Jan 2022
Self-confidence
And arrogance
Are twin brothers
Hate one another
labyrinth May 2022
He who have some sorta blot
Starts talking about god a lot
labyrinth Apr 2021
When obsessed with money, status and ***
They become wounds rather than success
labyrinth Apr 2021
These countries’ gold
Those countries’ oils
Have all been controlled
By few privileged soils
labyrinth Nov 2020
Diminishing sincerity
******* polarity
Excessive irrationality
Abundance in disparity
Ever-increasing barbarity
Fading income inequality
His, her or your vanity
Addiction to popularity
Translates to peculiarity
Governmental irregularity
A lot of corruptibility
Destitute of quality
Surplus of insensitivity
Lack of responsibility
Never ending animosity
Disengaging actuality
Too much sexuality
Accelerating obesity
Elites: Malicious fraternity
Utter contemptibility
All about profitability
Causing instability
What a pity
And!!!!
True solidarity
Complete clarity
A lot of integrity
Quite some serenity
Stronger immunity
Back to respectability
Definite profundity
Old-school verity
And impeccability
Absolute race equality
Mutual generosity
Much less paucity
None of docility
Financial security
Fixing credibility
Growing authenticity
Waning negligibility
No images, real identity
A little conventionality
Maybe some spirituality
For sure, intrepidity
Equal opportunity
Lasting prosperity
Happier humanity
With fine dexterity
All necessity
If not!!!
Inevitable scarcity
Impossible maintainability
Increasing immorality
Spreading brutality
Thus illegality
Sheer inequality
Additional vulnerability
Air and nature impurity
Much less inhabitability
A separating community
Everything’s overcapacity
Additional promiscuity
With less heterosexuality
Way more criminality
Presumably more oddity
Leads to inexplicability
Rising radioactivity
Unstoppable ferocity
Along with hostility
Political den of iniquity
All that potentiality
On the verge of criticality
Oh boy, a poor posterity
More than a possibility
Around the vicinity
Shame on complicity
The End!!!
