IN THE WORLD

There is more evil

than good

in the world

 

This truth

is felt by he alone

who gives up the fight

 

SO PEOPLE

As flowers

cannot all

be alike,

As birds

cannot all

be alike,

 

So people

cannot be

otherwise.

 

 

NO-ONE

No-one is

so ignorant

as not to be able

to give advice.

 

No-one is

so learned

as not to be able

to accept it...

 

 

PICTURE

for Petru M. Ha s

A mysterious poet

of royal birth

sometimes

wants to be terrible

and he succeeds

Sometimes, melancholic,

he lets you enter

the soul of his words

obliging you

to be decorous

towards his poetry.

 

 

THERE IS NO MORE

There is no more

memory

in this provisional

world.

Faults

keep on repeating

and no-one regrets

anything any more.

Light shines alike

on gold and mud

No-one can give youth

back to you!

 

SO DIFFERENT

We are so different

from each other

and from ourselves,

Ready to throw

hard words

at those who think

differently.

 

How much selfishness,

alas, how much mud!
