Foundation

Brick by brick from the finest kiln
Life is spent building your dream
most is achieved, want to scream,
House, status, immense wealth
Youth was lost, so was health
Is this really worth that much?

Prayer In a chapel

May you have the health

May you have the wealth

May your best smile

Lasts Life’s journey

several million miles

May you touch stars

Twinkle, shining, near and far

Happiness always stays

All roads lead to your way

May you always be inspired

by magic of all what you see

be what you wish to be

Urn dissected

found world’s wealth
saw nature’s health
former was way too much
latter’s luck was not such
cry and weep with hollies
sapiens and their follies

Flicker of hope in a maddening crowd

Standing aside
gold, sapphires, rubies
from all the glitter
colours unending tides
entire spectrum

jugglers, jokers, jesters
finest spectacles
coins, kingdom, castles
wealth tentacles

longing, for us
losing, myself
choosing, you

And why?
you innocently ask
with unreserved smile
in your angel mask

because my dearest
nothing else
makes the
heartbeat

Procurement of pleasure with heartless’ treasure

wealth uncountable
desires still a few
everyday minions find
flowers glowing new
buying most beautiful
perfected, coloured, cream
tulips most admired
in colours never seen
lilies, chrysanthemums
daffodils and roses
smell loses interest for
rich choosy noses
adorned grand houses
no one calls homes
sea of servants, maids,
butlers cemetery domes
wasted immense beauty,
deflowered, lost virginity
everyone holy in town
mosque, church, trinity
colossus egos soothed in
claimed fake divinity
heartless beyond belief
exploitation with impunity

Pockets full, empty hands

Life’s conversation
discussion, education
a sermon on Sunday
Friday, Saturday, Monday
Purpose, aims, objects
strategy, plans, subject
to what happens next
treachery and tact
opportunities, endless goals
chasing wealth blackholes
working beyond hard
souls and flesh apart
Morals integrity auctions
anger, heartless eruptions
more and more we make
Death due, nothing to take

Return

New day, new dawn
and I am lost
in a place known
location determined
situation strange
mind deranged
fate arraigned
a joker’s jest
body protests
hearts arrests
nothing but pain
memory lane
why have I come back?

Hypocrite

Two passages
Decadence laden, greed boils
Excessive wealth, polished tiles
adorned faces, fancy smiles,
Destitution, broken street
Torn clothes, bodies weak
Poor masses, fate bleak
Inequality, I berate you
Inhumanity, I hate you
thinking through
my lavish travels
