Stepping Out In Faith? (aka “Do-It-Yourself” Supernatural)

Despite what the TV Preachers imply,

I don’t know if I can make my miracle fly.

…

Sow a seed, if you please:

such harvest you will reap.

The Pain Of Emptiness

She accused me of giving up.

If I could think clearly, here and now,

detaching myself from the pain,

I’d like to remind her:

There’s a difference between giving up

and having no more to give.

…

Mercilessly,

life perverted

I have been bled dry.

This Website Is Best Viewed With… An AdBlocker

If you see advertizing,

please ignore:

it is not my doing.

It is a reflection of society,

an imposition,

an expression of greed

and exploitation.

It is an evil plot to distract you from

the potentiality of enlightenment.

Therefore,

s’il vous plait,

Да, да, Да!

und bitte schön…

tune in and zone out.

Selah.

Jerusalem/Birobidzhan

Holy City,

sullied by humanity,

hate,

avarice and greed.

…

In the din of

murderous tumult and turmoil,

they tell me I am home.

…

Alas,

in Jerusalem’s sunrise,

Birobidzhan is bliss.

Futility Is Resistance

Most days, I try,

I do what I can to get by,

to survive.

There’s an emptiness.

You’re probably the same:

Not where we thought we would be

when we were seventeen.

Misery Loves Company

I’m closer than you think.

Come,

together let’s sink.

Imposition

To the extent that I get out of bed in the morning,

you could say that my misery is self-imposed.

Stuck…

Memories stuck in mind,

words stuck in throat,

on this life I choke.

…

I try to explain

the pain,

but no one wants to hear

silence.

Another World (So Close, So Far…) (aka Neverending Class War)

I saw her on TV.

I should feel a connection

but, alas, it’s more pain.

Marginalized I remain.

…

She is from my country,

my city indeed,

but, in reality,

she is from another world.

Shit, He Sucks

Fat capitalist,

sucking his trademark cigar…

Sculpted piece of shit.
