What if

What if

What if

Jesus rode in today
would it be on a
a noisy chopper bike
in a bikers leather west
white halo helmet
or
an electric scooter
letting the long hair
fly in the wind
-
would it be
blast through the doors
of the shopping mall
in the escalator declare
our sins with bombastic words
or
sitting down by the hobo
look with tears in eye at
the steel and glass temple of banks

You can’t bring anything when you finally go, ha de Gött!

As time goes by

As time goes by

It has come to this, I fear
The passing, of another year
Reminiscing all, that's done
thirty one million five hundred fifty six thousand nine hundred twenty six seconds, all gone
Circle closes then takes another turn, my dear

Don’t wait, it may be too late, ha de Gött!

I’ve been struggling with the last line and I’m not really satisfied. I like to invite you to come up with another last line. Thank you in advance.

Faith and Hope

Faith and Hope

Faith and hope
since the first dawn of 
Homo Sapiens, the thinking man
the need has been around
to explain the why, to make heads or tails
why are we here
bring comfort in the unavoidable end
a sense of making sense of things out of sense

Faith and hope
since the dawn of
civilisation, the social human
the urge has been strong
to compete and win, to conqour and divide
how much can I pile
a legacy to, cheat the definite end
a sense of making sense of things out of sense

Faith and hope
since the dawn of
religions, the summing human
the misuse and abuse been the rule
to control the tribe, the masses
to fearlessly run towards the bitter end
reduced to useful idiots in the hands of
senseless prophets without any sense

Faith and hope
Hijacked to the dark side

Keep faith and hope but watch out for the false prophets, ha de Gött!

Inspired by John Malones poem Hope.

Advent

Advent

It starts already in September

sneaks up on you

when you least expect

you freeze, a shiver down your spine

but there, in the windings of the brain

the deceiving jingling pops up

welcome as zits in a teenage mirror

You try to fight it off, but then

but then in the shop

the frantic wailing from Mariah

all I want for Christmas is youOUOUOUOUOUOUOUOU

it sticks in your poor brain

like chewing gum under your shoe

You flee out the door while trying to keep your lunch

trying to calm down with a nice coffee

only to be punched in the face by

the ultimate torture

last Christmas I gave you my heart

a Wham in your gut

then you know, you have to succumb

to three months of terror

stumbling off, hollow eyes and pale

whistling jingle bells, jingle bells

Let the celebration begin, ha de Gött!

Boxed in

Boxed in

The world is full of boxed in people
constipated in their four wheel containers
in endless bumper to bumper lanes

rubbing shoulders with underground strangers
rich and fame like an Instagram post
cardboard poor as a news flash in the gutter  

hollow eyes rushing to lock themselves in
afraid to be a wrapped give away
by a white bearded man on boxing day

Keep your box open and let life in, ha de Gött!

Hymn

Hymn

Land of Feel-Sorry-for-Yourself

a place to put you down

beat your ego up

Low Self Esteem for president

besieged by, enemy of you

never ending civil war

army fight call “no use”

stay down for every count

dare not to seek, citizenship

It all starts with the man in the mirror, ha de Gött!

The obliviousness book

The obliviousness book

Book full of forgotten
things un-remembered
issue release daily
thick as the book of what-if's
pocket size in constant use 
some miss-use now and then
wear it on my shoulders
every chapter, dare a read
a highly dangerous deed
largest book in the library
that is my brain
the book of oblivion

My memory is good but short, ha de Gött!
