Sweating Out My Anger

The political scene is boiling over
Weather does its best
To keep up with the moods on the streets

Sonnet #61: Heroes

In our dreams the mighty fall for fame
Collecting garbage on the path to freedom
Whoever calls them heroes grows insane
If he would know, it wasn’t God who freed them

Sonnet #58: Garbage

For hours trapped with egoists in train
They talk without a pause and drink their beer
Their smell of garbage drives me fast insane
There’s nothing greater to enjoy in here

Uncomfortably Numb

The evening comes and the party goes on
The nightmare forgotten, your mind still strong
You feel the rythm, the heartbeat, the waves

Century of Angels

I’m feeling fresh
I’m feeling fine
More freedom around my neck
These days

Sonnet #25: Peace

When every drop of hope seemed spilled with ease
By narrow minded people without thinking
The enemies of freedom make their peace
Don’t hesitate to drop your glass of drinking

Sonnet #11: Zombies

It’s just another home he passed at night
The inner circle moves behind the curtain
He might have been the witness of a fight
But being drunk he sure was all but certain

Reptile Kid From Pluto

Isn’t that a beautiful sight? The blue colour of the graffiti tears you into the picture like the blue sky on a hot Summer day.

Watching People On Christmas Eve

Corona played its card today
Right from the start
All plans abandoned
On the day prior to Christmas Eve
