Ode To Goodness
.
Goodness! She is
like lyre tones
Wailing in the
middle
Of the night
In my heart from
your heart
The goodness
symphony
Plays in us.
.
Ah! We feel so
good
Like eagles!
In the arms of
the sky!
Like parrots! Singing!
Feeling to
heart’s content!
.
We become
dancers
Of what is a
life for two
All we need is a
sincere smile
Nothing else we
really lack.
.
Ah! I am yours;
you are mine
That is our
meaning of life
Let’s spread our
wings
Let's fly in the
goodness’ space!

Ode To New York City
New York City,
my New York City, enshrined in beauty
How you shine!
You truly the emblem of America!
The first look
at you and your breathtaking skyline
And I am yours

Ringing deep
within me with overwhelming tones.

Paul and the Big Ben of London!
The Tsar Bell!

Sigismund! The
Mingun Bell! The World Peace Bell!
Ah, how they
ring! How they sing! As carillons by now!
Bravely joined
by bells from all corners of the world!
They, the
carillons, uniting us all in love and peace!

How they sing! To you, my New York City!
One look at the
Statue of Liberty, one walk in Central Park
Beauty of the
Hudson River and the Brooklyn Bridge
Times Square
with its Broadway theaters and cafes
Ah, I am
instantly in love with you, one that shall last.
Loving to be
lost on your avenues and boulevards
Happy to visit

Little India,
Brooklyn’s Little Russia, wow, the world!

Just Kick The Tyrants Out!
Both armies in
fierce attack, apocalyptic fire
Missiles shine
like comets in the nightly skies
Violently
exploding in the trenches of the front
And all life
blown away into the arms of the night.
Refrain:
And only song
remains for those who yet live
Just kick the
tyrants out, just kick them out
For we are
sacrificing ourselves for peace
Just kick the
tyrants out, just kick the tyrants out…
The world was
beautiful, so peaceful before the war
Now the ruthless
enemy in our fields and homes
With barbaric
deeds, cruelty marking them
Trying to crash
and ruin the modern world order.
Refrain:
And only song
remains for those who yet live
Just kick the
tyrants out, just kick them out
For we are
sacrificing ourselves for peace!
Just kick the
tyrants out, just kick the tyrants out…
No, we will not
give one even piece of our land
Nothing for
those who violate peace and bring war
Go back there
you came from and never show up
The world is
determined to keep democratic order.
Refrain:
And only song
remains for those who yet live
Just kick the
tyrants out, just kick them out
For we are
sacrificing ourselves for peace!
Just kick the
tyrants out, just kick the tyrants out…

Time Of The Strong
'Time of the
strong’ engraved on a dark green helmet of Ukrainian soldier
Standing there
in the shocking scenery of a doomsday alike landscape
A highway
damaged, a bridge broken, houses nearby in grotesque rubbles
Tired people
from under the bridge walking up, bravely marching further.
Women and
children, and some men, young and old, terribly disoriented
Where must we go
when no place is safe? There is nothing but dead ends!
Besides, they
are being targeted by fighter jets of the Russian invaders
Who are
indiscriminately destroying everything what is in their sight.
Time of the
strong! The helmet must have belonged to an American!
To a soldier who
had experienced war in Iraq? In Syria? In Afghanistan?
Now brotherly
gifted to Ukrainian soldier? Or is it just his invention?
To say: we, in
Ukraine are the West. As you, Americans, as you, Europeans.
Time of the
strong! For we, Ukrainians stand for our beloved country
For freedom and
western ways of life are dear to us! We say no to Russia!

Ode To Man
Even if the
whole Earth was drowned in an ocean deluge
Even if the sky
became monstrous boulder falling on you
And everything
in and around you were a maze
You are a human,
beyond all measure, invincible.
Even if I don’t
know what pandemic hit your doorstep
Even if
religious dogma cast treacherous net on you
And there was
not a single philosopher calling for humanism
You, in your
advocacy for freedom are as stubborn as ancient Atlas.
Nothing, nothing
really, man, a present day modern Atlas
Can plunge you
into ultimate collapse, one with lightless tunnel
You are a spark
of the Lord, thunders of your soul in your spirit
There is no
denying you your way of life, subjugating you.
For, man, you
are gracious ode to your humanity
Overwhelming ode
to life, happiness, joy, ode to humanism!

King Of Life
/sonnet/
I had a dream;
they adorned my temples with a crown and made me a king
But I told them
that I am a libertarian king for whom all people are free
And they are
kings as much. For their rights and liberties are dearest to me
So fertile as
farmlands enriched with finest seeds, glorifying the Lord.
I am not
Alexander the Great, not William the Conqueror, nor Julius Caesar
Not Genghis
Khan, not Attila the Hun, not Ivan the Terrible, nor Napoleon
For it was not I
who lost my mind but they and many other ruthless rulers
All history in a
deluge of shed blood on their part, a stamp of evil, indeed!
Power and
scepter, and conquered peoples more important to them than virtue
The one of the
Lord's commandments to love and care for fellow creatures
No! They thought
they were divine, yet cruel in their deeds, alike cannibals!
Human lives not
worth a penny to them, but the throne of the Lord to defile it!
I am a king to
myself, alike an eagle with widespread wings in the skies
And, by God, I
can sharply see through the world’s maze, one that’s a garden to me.
____
Ode To Human
/sonnet/
I will dream
today, I will dream under the umbrella of the sky
On its screen I
will discover the power of limitless miracles
And I will
become tomorrow’s magician, charmer, wizard
I will change
the human world beyond recognition in one blink!
It will be an
ode to human, to humanity absolutely as a whole
Such one that it
will change a person's fate and envelop with happiness
This is what we
need now, in the complexities of everyday life
In order to be
able to use Ariadne's thread to spell human life.
It is a
perpetual motion machine*, free magnetic energy
Drive
oscillators that generate magnetic fields
The starships in
effect, an open way into the universe
A man free at
last, Earth a virgin land anew.
Ah, human, arise
from your knees, in the shroud of humanity
Become a starry
being, in rays of your own light! The Universe is waiting!
* Perpetual motion: motor (machine, vehicle), self-generating free energy, magnetic, based on opposing magnetic fields ...
