Second poem for tonight; what more can I say?


Indifference

Not going to write anymore
Nothing to write about
The world wakes up smiling
World problems solved
No atrocities committed next door
No murders, no rapes, no lies
The sun is shining
The cries of the innocent have been drowned
The tide of ignorance rising
The sky so blue it hurts
No more screams from the hungry
Empty bellies filled with intentions
The gentle wind moves no one
Cultural differences set aside
A surgical operation with homogeneous knife
The green grass sharp as a blade
No more mothers’ tears
No more sad children
No childish expectations
The world paints on a smile
Tears smear the perfection
Makeup runs away
The indifferent rain dances in the street
Indifference dances joyfully

Another one of those poems/songs that just bubble up from the brain.


Hearbreak in the rain


I walk softly on this path
I have fallen before
Didn’t watch were I was going
Stuck in your pitfalls
Couldn’t get up again
Mired down in lies
I extended a hand to your laughter
Cried as you dropped me
Found the strength to climb out
Found the strength to ignore you
Your sweet words tried to trap me
Your poison left me scarred
Your beauty left me bereft
I learned to live with myself
I learned to live without you
I’m only sad on rainy days
‘Cause rain reminds me of you
It’s always raining
