Create Your Own World!

Look at the world
From awakening eyes
In the dark night

This is what I see:
This narrow fenced space   
Assigned to me.

Then look at the stupid walls
Through dark eyes
In a dark face

This is what I know:
All these walls oppression built
Will have to go!

Look at your body
With eyes no longer blind
I see that your own hands can make

The world that’s in your mind.
Then let’s hurry, comrades!
We have a road to find.

Poetry

I Write, why?

I write, to feel alive,
To perform, power of my hands.

There is a world
Where I rule absolutely.

You forgot, that what is here isn’t my life
I believe in making my own
The dancing of eyes take as long as I say
If I wish, the sky will cry
Wind will stop in mid-flight
Nothing will happen unless I say so,
Without my blessing, not a leaf will fall.

Each drop of ink contains a fair repository
Lying in bed, set to dive on the blank page,
Letters, You think up to no good.
