One Morning
One morning,
quite suddenly
Someone will
announce to me
That the water
carried away my crib
Winds swept away
my park
Rain washed away
my tracks
one morning,
somebody would tell me
That my memories
are covered with white
someone will
tell me
Someone third in
me
That I lost
myself
one morning
It will ask what
happened to the boys.
And why not
their rate on Starry sky
and where is the
sky
this will be a
great morning if I wake up
Over Corpses To The Goal
The colourful
clothing of summer is fading
the scents of
the sea and flowers are disappearing
the smell of dry
leaves wafts from a distance
waves of blue
rain are visible
trees remain
bare
my soul longs
for you
my heart
trembles
over the fate of
mankind
evil has
awakened in people
since the
beginning of mankind
man, attacks man
mercilessly
the cries of
children and mothers are in vain
the appeals of
peace proclaimers are in vain
prayers in vain
in vain are the
resolutions of the United Nations
everything is in
vain
the executioners
listen to no one
they don't feel
sorry for anyone
war is sacred to
them
they sleep
peacefully
while children's
laughter is dying
they are judges
and executioners
justice is in
their hands
the death
penalty was not abolished for them
they don't ask
if you are guilty or not
with someone's
hands
they kill
hundreds of
thousands of children, women, and old people
in cold blood
they destroy
everything and everyone in their way
anyone who is
not like them
someone else is
to blame for their crimes
everything is
collateral damage
between them and
their goal
which is reached
the fastest by way of corpses
