Even God Is A Racist

God is a racist because
In the beginning
He created two human beings
Named Adam and Eve, which looked different
And sounded different under the tent
Each owned ten toes
Ten fingers, two hands
One face, one head, one nose
Two feet to wear sandals in the sand
Eventually, Adam and Eve had fun
They produced children
Which followed the tradition
From generation to generation
They emulated their parents
Who had fun too under many tents
Which became too congested
Too crowded, too populated
Ultimately, they scattered to other areas
Things became really serious
They followed the stars and the sun

The Right Equation

I have been loved
I have been rejected
I have been elevated above
The rest and also been castigated
Too much love can be sweetly deadly
Just as too much saccharin, sucrose
In one's blood stream. Give me the right dose
Give me enough to defeat my envy
Too little love can be devastating
Kiss me gently as many times as you want
Calm me down, mollify my rant
And appease me like the breeze of last year's spring.

I have been loved
I have been rejected
Put a light fire on the stove
To warm up the decaffeinated
Coffee, pour a spoon of honey in the cup
And a little bit of organic fat-free milk on top
Stir it as much as you want to be appreciated

Lies

Lies
Are more popular than flies.
Lies are everywhere.
Lies can turn into cancer
After a while.
The world is infested by these vile
Creatures, which are constantly
Changing. Lies run freely,
Because they rule,
They kill, and they fool
Kings, queens, and dictators;
Popes, pastors and doctors.
The blind can see the lies.
The deaf can hear the lies.
The dead can feel them,
But they will say nothing.
The Poets cannot fathom,
Why everyone is afraid to ring
The bells, to denounce this phenomenon.
The mirror does not lie,

A Difficult Separation

How can we say that we still love each other
When we selfishly went the opposite ways?
You took the freeway and I, the skyways
How can we say that we care for each other
When we no longer snore under the same roof?

We don’t know where we slept last night
We have no idea if one lied down on the right
Or the other on the left side that is aloof.

Our depraved children are scared and confused
We don’t know how to humanely explained
The logarithmic formula that we diffused
Haphazardly when the in-laws complained
About the crickets that became bitterly aloud.

These days, we are neither happy nor proud.

How can we say that we blindly love each other
When we both agreed to go our separate ways?

Everybody Is Afraid To…

Everybody is afraid to speak out
No one dares to shout
Everybody is keeping silence
The heat is becoming too intense
This mess makes no sense
This is an absurd ambiance
Somebody must come out of the shell
To extinguish that burning hell
Everybody resorts to lie
No one wants to die
The days are attrited, the hours accounted
Everybody must stand up to be counted
This is the spirit of a true democracy
Do your share and I will do mine with bravery.

Let’s all clean in front of our abodes
Let’s all chase the rats, the mice, the toads
And the unwelcome beasts
So we can have our deserved peace
Everybody wants to go to heaven

The End

The end of anything comes rather easy,
Time is not like a clock, time is freaky.
The sun does not come and go,
The moon does not come and go.
I doubt of the true shape of the sun,
Thinking about eternity is not fun,
And the moon and the earth are not round;
They are shapeless. We are bound
To fail exponentially and to succeed moderately.
Time never leaves, time is funny,
Unlike the clock, it follows a straight line,
Never stops, never breaks and is always fine.
Death is the end of the retirement,
It is the beginning of a new testament.
The end of something is the beginning of another,
Should we remember how many times
That the child has been a sophomore, a senior?
At birth, we were reminded by countless chimes
Of life, that there is an end to everything,
And there is always a new beginning.

Mother's Love Is Unconditional

Regardless of the weather
Regardless of your mood
You always save me some food
You pray that I will be better
Than the day before
You help me fight my daily war
You are my rock, my precious gem
You are indeed la crème de la crème.

Your love is indeed unconditional
You ignore the toll and the poll
You carried me for a long time
More than the usual nine months of pregnancy
You watch the arms of the chime
So I don't cry, so I don't get hungry
You are a genuinely great mother
That I want to cherish in return every hour
Every minute, every second of the day
I am blessed and lucky to be yours everyday.

This Is It...

This is the life that you dream of
Every night. This is it, this is the love
That took you a long time to aspire.

This is the spring that you desire.
Make the best of it, take a long walk,
Along the river banks to chat, talk,
And discuss what troubles you.

This is the winter that few
Have a chance to enjoy; it is fun
To play in the snow. The sun
Is not too hot; inarguably perfect.

This is the autumnal season,
Where sheets of leaves protect
The green grass; the gazon
Will be well manicured this summer.

This is it; the tulips are breathtakingly

Ki Jan-Ilye Is Dead

Dictators die too; nobody is eternal
No one is here on earth for life
All humans are the same and equal
Under the sun of the Almighty God.

Instead of crying, I giggle and laugh
When one of those criminals finally
Kicks the bloody bucket; God
Will always have the last words.

Kill by the swords and you shall die by the swords
Hate only destroys and love heals
Political prisoners are hung by their heels
Beat, mistreated, abused, humiliated
And cowardly assassinated
Always remember, at times, Justice may be slow,
But she will inevitably come at the end of the show.

Ki Jan-Ilye is dead
It is ironically sad

Senseless Killing

I saw your sons and daughters today at church;
They were carrying the holy wine, the holy bread,
The chalice, the cross and your sins.

They were not too happy, you killed their mother,
For nonsense, because of your ignorance.
Killing is never acceptable, violence
Should be denounced and rejected.

The children were beautiful at church
Without you, the fool who killed senselessly,
Brainlessly; the zombie which should have remained
Dead in the dungeon of Frankenstein.

May you rot in your deservedly filthy cell;
Your first class seat is reserved in hell;
May your blood burn without fire.
And may your eyes remain wide open, during your entire
Residency in the morbid house of Dr. Halloween Stein.
