We don’t need no education
We don’t need no gun control
No wokeism in the classroom
Catholics, leave them kids alone

You Came. You Saw. You Didn’t Conquer

It needs more than two legs
To walk
It needs more than two eyes
To see

250 Million Bees

hopefully they sting
the ones who don’t care yet
this event is set
by the driver of the car

The Unart of the Deal

Mein Unwort des Jahres steht bereits fest
Es ist nicht mal mehr ein Test
Ob sich das für eine Weile schlecht anfühlt

Compensation

what you notice about the weak
they know where they can hurt others
and they will do

Die Vereinigten Staaten der Plutokraten

Man kann sich natürlich hinter Platitüden verstecken
Kann versuchen wollen, nirgendwo anzuecken
Kann Versprechungen machen, die nicht zu halten sind

cringe

cringe sind leute
deren aktionen mich fremdschämen lassen
ich schaue sie an
nur kurz

you really just want the show

life is simply a tv show
existence is entertainment
where power swallows the poor
where idiots run the country

Open This Window

Open the window
Let in the wind of change
Don’t act strange
Seeking for revenge

WRITING Creative writing is my personal way to deal with the world we live in. I try to figure what’s going on and how to make sense of it. Creative writing is also giving something from me to you to enjoy, to think about or just share some time together online.

POEMS On this page I started with poems because it’s an easy way for me to write something off my chest. Poems are about one tiny aspect in life, about a special feeling or a combination of both. Poems have the power to connect people in a special way. You can think about a poem for far longer than it lasted reading it. You can sing poems; you can think about poems; you can recite them out loud. Tell me what you think about my poetry. Or suggest a collaboration.

ART I already told you that I started with poems in here. But that’s just the beginning. I also write sonnets, short shories, novels, odes, haikus and more. I design my own books, do letterpress from time to time and like to make more collages. Some of it I put on here. Some of it I’m still working on. Most of it is still in my mind.

COLLABORATION I’d like to work together with other creative people. Do you like one of my poems and would like to make a song from it? Contact me! Do you have an idea but not the right words? Contact me! Do you like one subject I have written about and want to learn more? Contact me! Are you a writer but stuck in procrastination? Contact me!

FUN Sometimes I write about dark subjects. Sometimes I write about light subjects. Most of times I write because of the fun of writing. Because it’s healthy to do. Writing clears the mind. And, yeah, writing is fun. Do you like to learn more? Contact me!
