low chance
bold stance
through the garden of vengeance
where the flowers are withered
weak and grey
under the x-ray
only flesh and bones
everybody throws the same ugly appearance
towards the sun —

but what is ugly?

it’s just a word
like a sword
when understood
in the neighbourhood

this is learning
burning the eyes
before the child tries
to walk
it already got the personality
of its parents
without any substance left anymore
it can’t develop any further —

use the cursor on your screen
to make yourself seen

take your pale shadow out of my view
get yourself a whole new crew

measure the distance of your mind
grow vegetables of some kind

if life goes on after sleep
smile at friendly sheep

but those are just words
taken away by birds
to someone who should know
but he enjoys the show
too much

and such
are my midnight feelings
looking up on the ceilings
makes me finish the night
with a sight of darkness inside
where there’s nothing to hide —

any what is ugly anyway
but a word?

use it for something else
turn it around
make it different
change its meaning
to beautiful.
