Small Blind Fragile World

blind, fragile, poem, sleepers, small, values, world

Have you ever thought the world is so small
and so much fragile that nothing in it matters anymore
because there is something more we need to feel
something above all these that our eyes cannot see
but we have to see

Have you ever felt that the world is not so solid
and not so ‘compact’ or ‘massive’ as people call it
because it’s trying to stand on a fake ground
that cannot withstand the load and will go down
and with it we all go down

Have you ever noticed that the world is asleep
and nobody sees beyond it because everyone likes this sleep
because it feeds a happy illusion to the mind
that prevents from seeing beyond and turns us blind
we are small too not just blind

Have you ever seen a small world being stable
and indestructuble that is not just another fable
because we are not, never been and never will be on top
we are blind sleepers bonded with a loose bond
small blind fragile world

Have you ever met anyone in the world that has seen beyond
and taught you the things that you should be taught
because beyond this small blind fragile world
there exist some values that cannot be taught
but we remain sleepers with no real dreams at all

Transparent Help

friend, help, poem, someone, special, transparent

I am in a mess
which in other times
I wouldn’t care less
but this time close people are involved
people I care more about than my own self

Someone
I may not be that special to
but is a special someone
I would need in times like these
but I will have to trust for this one

Should I bother
this is not my fight
but I do have no other
nothing to gain out of all this
why would anyone really bother?

Help!
without a reason
because you can and want to help
no need to complicate things
the solution is transparent help

And not care
it is not your fight
you only help because you have the strength to bear
things that special someone cannot
and really really needs you to be there

Love or Affection?

affection, her, love, poem, poetry, she

Not long ago was the time
when I looked at her as if she was mine
silly me to think otherwise
that I could forever have her lovely eyes

So far beyond her good looks
is the person inside that my soul hooks
is it love or just affection?
yet the sane reason entails rejection

Fair enough to make me weak
but she’s so powerful sort of speak
with such a cheerful cheeky smile
for just to look does worth my while

Well I think that is enough said
yet a dilemma rises up again in my head
is it maybe just another fling
or just a new love beginning within me?

Hello
what’s up fellow?
anything new from down there?
sit down and tell us but first you grab a chair

Say
how’s your day?
has it worked out for you?
speak your mind and for once try to be true

Breed
what do you need?
is that enough for you now?
take control and move on the way you know how

Black
you coming back?
why would you even reconsider?
turn black into grey and then white you quitter

Decry
I ask you why?
what’s that you don’t let out?
pretend to care not about me nor you and shout

Free
did you see?
is there strength within you?
calm down sleep and then wake up new

System (Machine) Life

life, poem, poetry, system

start
it’s simple as that
stop
I think not
until
just before you drop
dead
tired as hell
asking yourself when
all this will come to an end

begin
insert parameters in
‘love’
‘have fun’
run
public function laugh
true
case the sky is now blue
add ‘joy’ to the queue
hope this will not end soon

loop
boring thing to do
repeat
no need
to feed
your everyday routine
while
conditions still apply
if there’s any error try
to catch it to find out why

end
no time more to spend
result
exit status one
memory dump
program can no longer run
wait
analyze life state
memory not sustained
the system has failed

Free Man

free man, poem

Under the sky there exists pain
people hurting each other
people insane
people who just don’t bother
people who fight in vain

Look at this show that goes on and on
the times are changing
people are not
they watch their values changing
but realise not

Somewhere in there a man is free
listening to everyone
observing thee
wants to help everyone
his reason to be

Nobody knows and nobody will understand
nobody is listening
nobody sees that man
he helps them all without them knowing
and he’s happy with just that
he is free because of that…

Time to Think Small

poem, poetry, think small

Dreaming about moments that have yet to come
maybe you should at this very moment stop
as thinking so big will lift you up high
but you need to keep in mind it is not an easy ride
there’s work you will need bad to undertake
work that will be boring and you ‘ll probably hate…

There should be no problem in completing the task
all you have to do is not let yourself ask
“is it really worth all the trouble indeed?”
because looking for an answer there ‘s no need
stop thinking that way and convince yourself that
is time to think small until the work is done…

And if something on the way is keeping you back
be sure not to let it take you off your track
remain steady on your course no matter what
so that you can be proud of the final result
because if you are not then you have no peace of mind
and you ‘ll have to try harder than when you last tried

Mental Bug

bug, mental, poem

There’s a mental bug lying somewhere in me
that does no harm so I ‘ll better leave it
I don’t really know if I like it or not
but it sure likes taking me beyond any limit

Sometimes it just won’t leave me alone
and it just won’t let me go to sleep
and then it disappears for quite a while
until it is ready once again to breed

I try to take my mind somewhere else
looking to find some way myself to heal
I then realise there’s no way fighting it
it feeds itself from what I see and feel

It’s not something I ‘ll ever touch
it’s not anything like I ‘ve ever seen
it’s something I cannot really describe
but makes me more creative than I ‘ve ever been

Creativity? Imagination? Inspiration? All.
a bug that never leaves me and never dies
it makes me want to create more and more
and within these creations a part of my soul lies

The Jungle

jungle, poem, under a tree

Under a tree I watch the world bleeding
a world where happiness has lost its meaning
strange to be watching this from so far away
strange to be thinking this on such a happy day

Under a tree I watch people craving for more
they care not for freedoms that others have died for
they sadly got used to what they have always had
given by their ancestors who shed their own blood

Under a tree I watch the world splitting in half
on one side people laughing and on the other sad
I think whether the law of jungle really exists or not
“everyone for himself” is not what we are being taught

Under a tree I watch a coming storm
the tree leans on me and is about to fall
I wonder if I should find this a bit strange
the jungle remains the same it will never change

Lost Hope (Fallen Hero)

fallen hero, lost hope, lost souls, poem

Someone’s lost· a man· a soul
a hero of the modern times
a friend that few have known
a man that humanity hardly finds

No sign of him inside his eyes
his brain left him somewhere behind
somewhere in the past alone he lies
lost in his thought and mental might

What happened to him nobody knows
he lost all hope and there he goes
wandering in the past not being able to return
a “lost soul” he became· so they said

Someone’s lost· a human soul
a reject of the modern times
a hero once I’ve been told
a human whose soul never dies

Lost in his mind only to return
at some point later in time
but nobody really knows when
once again his star will shine

The very few friends never will forget
the majority of people will always reject
the hero lost all hope and hope was lost with him
“lost souls” we became and he became a victim
