Inner Prisoner
bound by the
fate of existence
pinned to the
ground
you go through
life unprotected
like a tightrope
walker above the waters of the ocean
you're still
looking
for free space
to get it
and wings of
freedom
to fly freely to
heaven
hungry for
crumbs of freedom
with feet rooted
in the hard
plateau of earth
you won't fly
away being a prisoner
of your own mind
when you see
inside him
a prison with
himself as a prisoner
and guard at the
same time
open the rusted
cell
let go of the
guard and free the ego
and you will
emerge from the cocoon "I"
- like a spring
butterfly
The wide lava of
existence outside and inside
and you will
grow wings
you will stand
as a completely free man
and you will
start learning to fly
a man cannot
accomplish this
while being an
inner prisoner
Hoarfrost
.
without a
declaration of war
without a single
shot
without warning
the clatter of
arms
I was killed
inside(within) me
.
in a word
.
today a word has
satanic power
it is a
fratricidal weapon
and at the
beginning the word
was truth and
life
.
And it became
flesh
that now kills
hate
.
The apparatus of
oppression multiplies everywhere
It grows and
peers inside the person
and the weapon
becomes more perfidious
the murderer
accuses the victim
and walks in
honor and glory
.
They receive
orders
.
the sewage of
words swims in a swift stream
hardly anyone
pays it attention anymore
the teeth of
empathy were knocked out
we have been
conquered by fear
they mislead
with false information
.
It’s easier to
rule with fear
we have lost the
azimuth of faith
we turned white
not because of
purity
and innocence
but from cold
indifference
.
hoarfrost
covered consciences
Once
in a forgotten
house
windows without
eyelids
an empty
cupboard
portraits
with lost smiles
and fading
colors
only the shadows
cuddle
running along
the walls
revive(resurrect)
memories
that once
someone loved
someone here
