To Witness

Clarity is scarce / For one moment at a time / The heat is rising / So am I

Dear Future Children, I am oh so sorry / I would love to say to you: Don’t Worry

But I tell you that we will have failed / As soon as you will be born / And breath this planets air

For you must now live with the big heat, the hunger, and the fires everywhere

So many righteous people try to fight this very future / And for that they are jailed.

The heat is rising now, and so are they.

But they must fight lies, bullets and poverty.

How to witness all this madness and to keep my very sanity?

The road is empty of righteous voices for now at so many foremost beautiful places

I watched people making heavy choices and how

They lost friends, lost hope, lost their lives, what now?

One dives into sadness and frustration watching all of this / Faith and action are heavy to live up to

To witness streets, empty of the people who live there / I want to become brave and stable / Not afraid anymore, but capable

I want to become a vessel of justice / A Pandoras’ Box / For them who abuse and kill and silence

I want to end their violence / Give my hope to the people like a cunning fox / To start over the good riot worldwide

A Stone is growing in my heart, I want to pull it out

But this heavy stone can’t be moved alone.

Together let’s throw it into the ocean with a victorious shout.

Let the waves do the rest.

Do not detest freedom anymore / United we will be best, as we stand up for our dignity and a freely breathing chest.

lemniscate


lemniscate
an orbit circles into Eternity
crosses ways to make ends meet
sometimes the marble ascends
sometimes the marble descends
in the depths, perception squats
in the highs, self-fullfillment glows
both sides I cautious traverse in my times
as balance occurs to be fragile

Rainbow Colored Symphony

Dancing by painting my writings
Crying out loud the love
For my own spirit beings
Dreaming what the carve
In the cave of my mind

Me, I hurt
Me, I smile
Me, I had to catch this breath
for such a long while

Help me goddess
Don't divide
Too many have died
Raise your fist
And write

My life is a chance to see purple truths
Like in my youth
I've grown a fantastic world of empathy
Like a rainbow colored symphony

These feelings like mountains crumbling
The statue shining through is you, yet stumbling
Over words unsaid
Speaking of what we did in a cloudy bed

Me, I hurt
Me, I smile
Me, I had to catch this breath
for such a long while

Help me goddess
Don't divide
Too many have died
Raise your fist and write

Me, I am hurt
Me, I do smile
Me, I maybe fail
for now I exhale

Help me goddess
Don't divide
Too many have died
Raise your fist
And write

Dear family hold my hand and heart
Don't go out to fight
This beautiful world is worth
To survive

Today I was hurt
Today I smiled
That marvelous day
Has all gone wild

The hours turn to sand
Time paints no lines
I Say No to silence
I Say No to false signs

This is no poem
That calls out for anymore wars to fight
Let peace lead your hand
Let thought be the sword and write

Me, I am hurt
Me, I do smile
Me, I had to catch this breath
for such a long while

Help me goddess
Don't divide
Too many have died
Raise your fist
And sing and dance and paint and write

It’s me

Schizo, as I lay my head on pillows
Schizo, as I wake up next day out of sight
Schizo, as I do the dishes three times in a row
Schizo, as I walk away from every fight

It‘s a freak show, I don‘t show you
I live my life in augmented reality

My thoughts fuck up my memory
Between you and me it‘s the TV

These thoughts show the tragedy
To speak about it, I don‘t owe you

Schizo, as I fight my feelings
Schizo, as I wanna cry
Schizo, as I help myself with common things
Schizo, as I sometimes I think I die

 

A thousand nights ahead of me
Feels like losing myself

In the dark someone mocks me
Telling me, I‘m someone else

Think of pieces of fear and pity
Surrounding you like an empty shell

Schizo as I love the cruelty
Hitting me with ignorance
Schizo as I can look through me
Helping mirrors vanish at a glance

 

Like flies I have visions
Brings me to other people‘s prisons

Im a tiger and my claws
Hurt someone that I never was

Im an elephant and my mind
Does not forget and is not easy to find

Schizo, as I do remember all the beauty in the worlds
Schizo, as I see the living hurting lives with rusty swords
Schizo, as I look for people who hear the thoughts of no ones lord
Schizo, as I hook myself in Ereskigals place of gore

Truth to speak of what I hear and see
It‘s me, It‘s me, It‘s me, It‘s me

My inner child loved through tough times
My lung searches for air watching fake crimes

Take the time to look through the wall sourrounding me
Friendship is an important step to rationality
Though my brain is fucking with reality
This all is me
It‘s me, It‘s me, It‘s me, It‘s me
