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.
