Poem 2




Who are we?

Poets, musicians, outsiders, dangerous beings

We those who cannot remain blind

To this hypocrisy that is humanity

What is it that we did to be damned to all eternity with such suffering?

Can we see the light, do we – did we – may we see it?

Is there any light at the end of this journey or is this a train coming toward us,

In this hidden covered and enveloped by darkness – this tunnel so opaque

That we can’t even see through ‘t

This life full of high aims and dreams but no direction

These long wanderings that make us wonder and ponder in the dark

And yet we find no answer.

Is it uncertainty that keeps us alive or

The certainty brought by uncertainty?

Will ever any soul listen to our outbursts, our truth, our cries for help

I dare think not for

As Kafka said - there’s hope –

But not for us.
