BLUE
diving into the BLUE
a trip into sadness
a return of relief
as wide as the oceans
covered with sky
as tight as the coat of Lidl´s cashier
and disturbing enough.
BLUE
the state to drown into
the mood of depression
the attractive unknown.
out of the BLUE comes the news
rarely a good one
into the BLUE we speak out
absurdity.
worse than it all -
the lack of BLUE
a missing link
we can hardly endure.
but in times of
plenty
missing feels good.

music for the dead
god is in trouble
death lost its threat
sleep´s brother a sissy
unable
to keep its disciples
under control
god is in trouble
his heaven no challenge
anymore
heaven and hell
two of the same kind
as promised land
god is in
trouble
since that one day
when light and dark
became one

Children of the Cartels
If children be our hope, then hope dies first, not last. While searching for 43 hopefully still alive, we find a mass grave of others, long forgotten. If naivety is the childhood´s nature, our offspring grows old before ever growing up. Though innocence ensures protection, we drown it in body bags. The weakness of tenuous bones and necks is hardened by the weight of our coal mine´s harvest.
Born into an already bruised life, these American Beauties, whose feet belong to their master and only their shoes belong to them, are murdered onstage by the most dangerous animal in the zoo: their own mother or dad, if they are not fleeing on the road to Baghdad leaving any dream variations behind…
Earth too was a fragile creature. Born as a planetesimal, it became a solid object arising through internal strength. So hope dies last. Not first.
