I want to deliver a poem
that lives longer than my heartbeat.
I want to be the unknown poet
of a known poetry.
112.
People are equal
but some are more equal than others.
Desires have stronger wings
than human rights
and even the angel of justice
can be bought.
Mouths say beautiful words
to justify ugly deeds.
113.
For a world of frozen souls
in the darkness of despair
love is the flame.
114.
I hear the footsteps
of my longest sleep.
I feel maggots
on my flesh.
I see my bones decay
and my elements scatter
but I know
I shall return.
115.
You are raised in illusion
to catch dreams
that fly high like balloons
but are empty inside.
