The Reason

As if being down-to-earth

is diminishing our souls

as if it was an insult to us

to degrade to the earthiness and materialism

myopic day-to-day

no, we can’t live like that

but what are the alternatives

only to daydream

in a confused fantasy

the option is the inability to be free in this unfreedom

cause we were not born rich

cause the Russians took our things

and killed our souls with stones

TO THE ENEMY

If we could meet up in some beautiful space
a space which doesn’t fit us at all
cease the contradictions in our heads
for a while
then maybe we could stand up for ourselves

maybe they would stop talking
directing our minds
for the duration
of our stay

just a fantasy, enemy
because I’m your adversary
and you are mine

therefore, we are destined
to stay
in our appropriate bedrooms
thinking about the next life
