RECOGNITION
Nothing is seen through colorful mirrors
Neither a trace,
Nor a shadow of light courier
With a candle fighting with darkness
Statues with tears in forgotten city appeared naked
And there were always men asking for the city’s peace
On the window there are naked women like modified trees
Who are waiting the knights of pain and bloody return
You wear an inappropriate skirt for your body
And we may read books in order to embrace other thoughts
Others think that we swallow her glass like fools
Only statues with tears in forgotten appear naked tears
Right where love does not have excelling sounds
You pretend that there is no room for catharsis
A brain that expects a determined food portion
From the guardians...guards of ignorance
Guards of darkness that are fighting light rays
Today and forever
We grow while harnessing love
And love while inheriting hatred
This life conversion originates from forgotten temples
Where tearful statues appear naked
You define it painfully in an astonished state
We play with words, play with ideas
While shaken by great dilemmas.
Just like our dreams lost in an abyss
We succumb to the identity of a tasteless shrub,
With bitter and dried fruits
Peter Tase, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
