I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin straddling an atomic bomb,
I dreamed of grace and annihilation weightless and atmospheric
I dreamed of gravity as the tyranny of man

I dreamed of a view of this world from the sun, ashes in a cosmic crematorium
I dreamed of ice and fire, winter and war
I dreamed of mutually assured destruction, eyes watching the sky

I dreamed of watching from on high, all glory hallelujah and twinkling giants
I dreamed of falling back down, arms spread in unbreakable faith
I dreamed of Yuri Gagarin, alone among the stars, saint of that great abyss, smiling as he met God, and asking him in a calm and reassuring tone, where he's been all this time

so dumb xD
MdAsadullah Nov 2014
I conquered vast pieces of land.
I ruled green patches and sand.
I am Akbar, I am Aurangzeb, I am Alexander, I am emperor,
I am man.

I discovered places which were unseen and unknown,
sometimes with my friends and sometimes alone,
I am da Gama, I am Polo, I am columbus, I am explorer,
I am man.

I constructed beautiful mosques and castles,
see this Taj, as if it was built by Angels.
I am Ustad Ahmed, I am Master james, I am Sinan, I am architect,
I am man.

I take rational approach to solve life's mystery,
through biology, physics and chemistry.
I am Jabir, I am Newton, I am Einstein, I am scientist,
I am man.

I have turned upside down many nations,
my thoughts and writings can inspire generations.
I am Marx, I am plato, I am socrates, I am philosopher,
I am man.

I crossed boundaries of earth to reach space,
Even on moon you can find my trace.
I am Aldrin, I am Gagarin, I am Armstrong, I am astronaut,
I am man.

I shape words like a sculptor with delicate touch,
my few words can convey so much.
I am Iqbal, I am Kabir, I am Wordsworth, I am poet
I am man.

I Stayed for nine months in her womb,
her love and kindness made a man in me to bloom,
She is sister, she is wife, she is mother, she is woman,
Yes, I am man because of a woman.

Portal To Infinity
for Yuri Gargarin
respectfully
by
Jude Kyrie


The explosion erupted like an inferno below him.
Not a naturally religious man he prayed to his maker.
Then the rush as he lifted off from the sweet earth
At the edge of the atmosphere an invisible barrier
Eons old untouched by mankind but not this day.

As he moved into orbit he saw the wonder of Mother Earth below.
The first words uttered by our species in the vacuum of space
"I see Earth! It is so beautiful!"
He witnessed the Earth for a single orbit

Over Africa the ground control shut of his engines
And he re-entered the earth’s atmosphere
With no power to slow down the craft.
He ejected above earth and parachuted to fame
As The first man in space the pioneer of space travel

When the American astronauts landed on the moon
In July 1969 the crew left a commemorative medal bearing his name
Warmth of mutual occupation and respect melted the ice of the cold war

From Russia came this special man
Thank you Yuri Gagarin




Author Notes

On 27 March 1968, while on a routine training flight from Chkalovsky Air Base, he and flight instructor Vladimir Seryogin died in a MiG-15UTI crash near the town of Kirzhach. The bodies of Gagarin and Seryogin were cremated and the ashes were buried in the walls of the Kremlin on Red Square.
Gagarin was survived by his wife Valentina, and daughters Elena and
Galina. Elena Gagarina, Yuri's elder daughter, is an art historian who
has worked as a director-general of the Moscow Kremlin Museums since 2001.[25] His younger daughter, Galina, is department chair at Plekhanov Russian Economic University in Moscow
juliana hiccup Apr 2012
my polyangular spring,
please don't breathe
while sleeping,
lay down so that
the sweet cotton milky way
would be along thy shoulders,
you're gagarin
all alone by himself.

do you remember
glaring lights of august?
i must be lost somewhere there
and secretly nobody
knows how to find me
i'm all curled up, blurry
and you're my slow motion
dancing wild
in the spectrum of life.

every time you loose light
i wish to be a sound
of breaking ice in the lena river,
thus myriad light years
would seem to be nothing
for a northern snowfall.
you grew up like a flower,
sleep pattern on my face.
Dreams of Sepia Jul 2015
I'm folding origami birds
from old envelopes

                                                      ­                           with stamps from the US
                                                              ­                   as if hoping they'll fly back

there & greet my friend
& blowing bubbles in my tea

                                                            ­                                     Yesterday I heard
                                                           ­                                 Yuri Gagarin's voice


for the first time
& thought it strange

                                                        ­                                       that such a simple
                                                          ­                            sounding man should've

been allowed into Space
rather than picking a Poet

                                                           ­                                   who could've made
                                                            ­                               more of it than him
the last three letters I sent
to my friend

                                                               ­                                      didn't get there
                                                           ­                             so I don't trust the Post
anymore & rely
on e-mails & phone

                                                          ­                       sometimes we don't write
                                                           ­        or speak  for months or even a year

& then when we get
back in touch

                                                          ­                                                 it's just like
                                                            ­                                  hearing from Space
Yuri Gagarin (Russian) was the first man to visit outer space ( this happened in 1961).
David N Juboor Apr 2015
When I was young
I saw Gagarin
Waving through a moonbeam

That same year
A single electron
Went from my finger
To the doorknob.

She was a radical.

In those days
I was convinced that the
Cocoon was a casket
Would bury it whole
When it came back empty
You thought it went to heaven.

We built homes
For the salamander
Picked them from the mud
Moved them into plastic boxes
And swore to never let it
Live in such poor conditions.

How could they live like that.

When I was young
My eyes saw so much love
It spread in every direction.
We called it the love canal,
Because it was so toxic.

Sometimes if you would listen
You could hear the trees
Whispering wisdom to the pine cones
Singing lullaby’s about
fireside farmers.

We would hide them from the spiders
because we hadn't yet learned
How to commit ******.

I used to think
That the raindrops were lonely
Because they were always
Holding themselves in.

You'd collect them in a glass jar
Thin enough for their worries
To creep up the sides,
And convinced me that they had
Found someone to talk to.

Our hands were stained with blackberries
Tasted sweet like the honeysuckles
On the other side of the thorn bushes
Where you found the fattest bumble bee
And told me that honey came from its throw up.
I still eat honey.

In the winter
We built a snowman.
Named him jolly old saint ****,
And I sat inside until
All he left me was coal.

At the north pole
There were three elves
Who in the summer
Built sandcastles
In their dreams
But over Christmas
They made salamander
Soup kitchens.

In a cornfield
I found myself.
Three skipping stones
I kept them in my pocket
Until it reached the shoreline.
They're still drowning.

Here's to the kids who
Never got to go
Trick or Treating,
But were **** good
At being someone else.

You and I,
We did our math in pen.
We never made the
Same mistake twice.

We didn't smudge,
We smeared.
And there was never
Any doubt
That you and I,
Were here.

"Blessings" Missed—Is That Misfortune?

Missed the "blessings"—what a fate?
Luck? Just dust beyond the gate.
For the Soul to serve and strive—
That’s the curse for those who thrive.

World’s a coffin, "gains" are dust,
If the Spirit’s crushed to rust.
Glory, riches, hollow cheer—
"Lofty heights" for slaves to steer.



---------------------



Burnt-Out "Machine"

A poet sold to evil’s stream—
No fix will bring back fire or dream.
His words now spin in dull pretense,
A goat’s own verbal impotence.



---------------------



To Think You Know It All

To think you know—now that’s the fear,
Worse than the void of what’s unclear.
For in that pride, you always fail—
A legacy of falsehoods’ tale.



---------------------



Gilded Cages and the Rest

Life in a thorned and narrow cage,
Or thorns outside—worse, to wage!
Ancestors left this cursed mark,
In slavery's chains, the soul grows dark.
In tangled realms, we stumble, lost—
A legacy of endless cost.



---------------------



The Fool's Courage

Does the fool’s boldness
Impress you? No,
Not when there's no reason,
And madness takes the show.

A fool's own motivation,
Take war as a sign:
Without evacuation,
Life’s worth is barely a dime.

Only before death’s door
Will he see the cost,
Not with his mind, but "fur"—
A fool, forever lost.



---------------------



The "Miracle" of North Korea

Study it, then start to apply—
Make the people more afraid,
But a "paradise" you can't deny,
Is one that’s never truly made.



---------------------



Nonsense Modeling Pseudo-Reality

X and Y, and Z instead—
Form the three-dimensional dread.
Add on time to raise the weight,
To make the burden escalate.

But the Spirit’s depth forgot,
Everywhere, the fleeting thought—
They imposed it, called it "life,"
The BEASTS' deceit, their endless strife.



---------------------



Fears Are the Gallows

Fears are gallows,
Lies the axe,
Fight the evil,
Don’t look back.



---------------------



My Address

My address isn’t house or street,
But the city of the blind,
The realm where deafness fills the air,
The land of fools confined.
The structure—chains that bind.



---------------------



The Passing Years

The years go by, the fools grow more,
The further, dumber they become.
And so misfortune strikes the shore:
The dumber the world, the crueler some.



---------------------



Whose Board Is It, Anyway?

To whom is the board, for whom the game?
To many strangers, none the same.
This path is for the chosen few,
The rest just shovel through the blue.



---------------------



The Land of Dreams Nowhere

To live by dreams—such simple creed,
But all is trash, where tears may feed.
What’s a dream in such a place?
A folly—dreams lead to NOWHERE’s space.



---------------------



Citizen No One in the Land of Nowhere

In Nowhere, No One cannot fight
Fate’s cruel hand, or bear the blight.
The fool’s conscience fades with time,
Honor’s lost—spit on it, no crime.



---------------------



Liberation from Hell

A shift in "dimension" means death,
If you’re aware of it,
A chance to leave this solid breath,
Which’***** its lowest bit.

But first, you must live your life,
Full of creation’s spark,
And visions clear. If you stir strife,
You’ll never leave The Dark.



---------------------



We sit in burrows, talk and chatter,
Embracing lies, yet dream of bliss.
If "brothers" harm us—doesn't matter,
We'll break them down with iron fists.

But when the beasts in power tower,
Demand, command, and call the shots,
We hold our tongues and shrink in coward-
ice—even if they pour in toxins hot.

If they "request" with threats unspoken,
With job loss looming in the air,
Then slaves stay bent, with spirits broken,
While ******* sit on royal chairs.



---------------------



Step by step—too slow, too hollow,
Fades the path and meets its end...
Was it others you would follow?
Walk alone—don’t just pretend.

Few will share your thoughts sincerely,
Few will stand and see you through.
So keep moving, pushing fiercely—
Strength will grow inside of you.

If you grumble, lost and weary,
You will never make it through.



---------------------



Fools bear the cross—it's always fated,
The best are nailed, then left to die.
They call it fate—it's fabricated.
They spread the "plague", and filth runs high.

This is their game, their grand tradition,
To dull the minds, to twist and cheat.
A whole industry’s positioned
To breed the fools—their tool, their fleet.

And with sheer numbers, fools start crushing,
Stamping out the brightest minds.
Hold on, my friend—just keep on rushing,
This filth will fade with passing time.

The sun burns stronger, ever blazing,
For decades now, it lights the way.
Yet fools strike harder, blindly raging,
To break the best beneath their sway.



---------------------



We keep scratching, thinking, blinking—
Sawdust fills our heads, unshrinking.
Presses through our skin, revealing,
Makes all shouting less appealing.

Without chants and noise, we're hollow—
Winnie fools aren’t fit to follow.
If we fail to cheer in chorus,
Our great leader will abhor us.

Scratch until it bleeds, no slacking,
Or they'll call you vile and lacking.
If your sawdust spills and scatters,
Fresh is stuffed—the press still flatters.



---------------------



Probing Attack, or Overton’s Window

They send out fools—just light aggression,
To test how much the world will bear.
Once cracks appear, there’s no concession—
The mad battalions swarm in there.

The charge won’t stop; and soon, what’s shocking
Becomes the "norm," no more taboo.
It’s evil’s maw—forever clocking
What else it’s hungry to chew through.

The world grows numb, its mind corrupted—
These probes keep swarming, day and night.
And all "for care," so sly, so trusted—
The traitors feed us blatant lies.



---------------------



Catching the Golden Catfish

We drag out Happiness, gills shaking—
Still, it fights with all its might.
Light the candles, prayers making—
Churches, homes—but no delight.

Reeling in this stubborn creature
Proves to be a futile chore.
Could it be that Nature's feature
Keeps it slipping from the shore?

Don’t chase joy—it’s just a fiction,
Seek fulfillment, chase the deed!
Flip the script—your life's affliction
Comes from waiting for the bliss you need.



---------------------



Make It Sound More Sophisticated

Let the nonsense grow profounder,
Teach it high in college halls.
Fools will stand up even prouder,
Lying big while thinking tall.

Fake new science, like a preacher,
Took the priests' old feeding ground.
Speak too clear? Then every creature—
Even donkeys—won’t be bound.

Once the jargon starts to crumble,
Once they talk in simpler ways,
All their nonsense sounds like mumble,
Fading out in weak delays.



---------------------



Aging Children

Kids leave college, young and clueless,
Never growing, stuck in place.
Life will test them—cold and ruthless,
Filtering the hopeless case.

Few will rise, while most will wither,
Aged-up scouts with childish minds.
Yet among the beasts, they linger,
Ripe for graves their fate defines.

Such a fate is planned, constructed—
Grown-up minds aren’t meant to be.
Easier to keep them rusted,
Locked in Camps where none break free.

Once for scouts, the camps were standing,
Now they’re built with screens and codes.
No place there for minds demanding—
Only drones who take their loads.



---------------------



The Crossing

"Crossing over, crossing over!
Left bank, right—now drift in clover..."
No, it's Charon, grim and fated,
Not from myths—he’s here, he’s waited.

Souls of dead crowd all around him,
Off they go—new Earth to hound in.
Once again, they’ll feast and plunder—
That's the curse we're living under.

Hell itself is but a clinic,
***** ward—its grasp systemic.
Death won't free you—leave in sorrow,
Just to fall again tomorrow.



---------------------



The Press of Evil

Gagarin "flew beyond the sky,"
But left his camera behind.
We swallow lies and don’t ask why—
This fate was shaped for humankind.

It drains our will, it warps the mind,
And keeps the masses dull and tame.
A screen, a beer—just sit, unwind—
The honest ones are dead and shamed.

Then Yankees "landed on the Moon,"
Their cameras caught it all, no less.
And so, by propaganda’s tune,
They crushed us with their press of press.

Then more would come—false "plagues" were spread,
First just a test, then all-out game.
The world was drowned in CowID dread
To learn its place, to bow in shame.

That shame—a Global Cattle Camp,
Where "care" will be the siren’s call.
Your leash will be a data clamp—
A digital corral for all.



---------------------



Population Cut by Bovine Virus and War

First reduce, then crush the weak,
Those who remain, no mercy shown.
In Hell itself, there’s no retreat,
As Hell’s own end begins to grow.

A global Cataclysm looms,
It seals the fate, the final toll.
Genocide and fascist gloom—
They’ll pay the price, the heavy roll.



---------------------



Roof-Crawling

The tower falls, but slow, unseen—
It’s hardly noticed as it’s done.
A madman, calm and quite serene,
Can fool the world and still be spun.

In books and blogs, you’ll find the wreck
Of madness hiding in plain sight.
Disguised as wit, it’s all unchecked,
A twisted, ****** kind of might.

The sign is clear—no sense remains,
Just words all jumbled, empty, tossed.
In quiet madness, all that strains
Is fragile thought, forever lost.



---------------------



"GazMeat" Concern, "LiesBred" Trust

"GazMeat" runs the show, with lies,
"OilFear" keeps the lies intact.
The state’s own structure, full of ties,
Turns what was good into the cracked.

Is it a state, or just a mask?
CowID leaves doubts to grow,
The Puppetmaster takes the task—
And lets the beasts all rule below.



---------------------



Porridge with Meat and Butter

You can't spoil porridge with some butter,
Fear will bind the herd, no doubt.
Lies will lock them in and smother—
Then the slaughter’s coming out.



---------------------



What Did the Universe Tell the Moth?

"The Universe spoke..." you say,
But you're no zero in its sight—
You're a fat minus, led astray,
A bubble of ego, lost in flight.



---------------------



The Recurrence of the Bovine Virus

Strife—"strife" again. Thief,
Is it repeating, this grief?



---------------------



The Scoop, Matches in Stock

A scoop, some matches stashed away,
And soap upon the shelf so neat.
A vow was made—without delay—
No drinking, quiet, in defeat.



---------------------



Means of Building Communism

Ah, to be a pioneer—
Inspired by freaks, year after year,
To swear an oath, the party's call,
And claim "happy childhood" for all.
With tools of building, they'll raise you high,
While praising madness as the sky.



---------------------



Mask and Helmet

Mask is a helmet—at command,
The "people" move, just as they're planned.
In this hellish, twisted dance,
Fools crush the best with no chance:
A rose—a stone, it’s tossed aside,
The stone remains, the flower dies.



---------------------



More of the "Mohr" to Come.

More "Mohr" will come, no doubt,
If you’re a fool who’s quick to shout.
The idiot waits, the screen decides,
As if the truth within it hides.



---------------------



Big Money and the Rest

It’s not that you control the cash,
But money twists you, makes you fall—
It’ll use you for its every lash,
Until you’re lost, no self at all.



---------------------



Masha, Pasha, your delight—
To serve, believe, to wait in line.
The promised cup will come in sight,
With endless wealth—but not for thine.

What they’ll pour into that cup,
Fools aren't meant to ever know.
Day by day, it's filling up—
Sinking lower, down below.
