we go
from life to death
on and on
we keep coming
through the years
and turn
into ghosts
in the firmament
and one day
there will be
no one.
we go

and one day

until you begin to cry
tears of blood
your body is flooded
with sadness
and pain hurts
your brain
but what can you do
you’re feeling so blue
and you find the world
so indifferent
you begin to crack
and with sobs you are racked
you can’t take this anymore
life is a sore
that finally bursts
and in which you drown
and are gone
with the ugliest frown.
like a mother
and rocks me
in her arms
at her breast
I feed
and become
free like the wind
life is so beautiful
so much fun
to fly
so have a nice day
and bye bye.
is the sky
squeezing
your mind
your heart
pressed so hard
you feel
it burst
and your
thoughts
and your
feelings
are broken
you are
shattered pieces
of yourself
crying out
to be
put together
but now
people step
on you
vehicles
crush you
again and again
under their wheels
until you are gone
from this world.
for so long
it was burning
and I was screaming
as my face melted
and I ran in pain
and fell
disoriented
and got up again
and tried to put
one foot
before the other
but dropped
to the ground
one more time
and vomited
my insides
with blood
and died.
all the buildings
stood for it
the merry-go-round
the see saws the slide
and the gardens
were glowing green
and golden in the sun
the sky blazed and laughed
and all of us celebrated
the moment
in our homes
on the streets
in the cars
we became human
when the wind whispered
in our ears
peace love.
in this world
of water
and earth
so many people
so much joy
we can make
the skies
ring with
our laughter
so much sorrow
we can melt
this planet
with our tears
withering it
till it breaks
and we are
all gone.
like old wood in the rain
my heart beats in pain
every moment reminding me
of how weary I am
and I feel like a worm
that has been stamped on
there is such agony
my head is crushed
my body has torn open
and now my insides
are all out
and I am dying
I tell you
life has not treated me
like a human being.
and stitching me up
I hurt and I heal
this goes on and on
and there are
all these scars
on my body and mind
and I don’t know
what they mean
they are just there
like I am here
writing this
and what is
this universe I ask
and I hear
my voice echo
and go silent
like I will
one day.
and I become
a flock of birds
vanishing
into the redness
beneath my eyelids
and when
I open my eyes
I feel the Earth
under me
like a magic carpet
taking us all
around the sun
the greatest tour
of our lives
telling us
we are all one.
