Wrong choice
Capitalism in the minds of innocents
Exploitation in the minds of rulers
Selfishness in the minds of followers
The worst of nightmares
Corruption and destruction
Starvation and domination
Oppression against those who say No
What an economical prostitution!!!
Altruistic they claim, justifying
The flying stars in the heart of the nights
For a democratic world they say
For freedom they claim
What a path
The human race has chosen to take
Wrong choice
For consequences are great,
Yet! Not for the oppressed
The angels asked: Why create such a race?
Allah said: I know what you don’t know
They say life isn’t fair
I object

president-select
like a vulture to sick prey
land of eagle fades
empires all crumble
like the former termite walls
fascism looms over us
spring thaw wakes us all
glimmer of hope still present
though outlook is dim
Finland welcoming
political refugees
the very last option

Confession
It is a secret to tell you this
But oh! How I long for just one kiss
One simple peck from those luscious lips
could fill my soul from my heart to my hips
Maybe even a hug or two or three
to caress your body and hold it near me
although you will never know
it was me that liked you so much
But one thing is for sure,
it shall all make sense with just one touch.
