Chase
I’m racing with death,
it chases me, stops me,
stings every hour.
I’m racing with time.
Not just mine.
Children. Children.
They have short steps.
Maybe
with human help
it will be possible to overcome
the planned annihilation?
Only Sometimes
You said that people are good,
only sometimes they make mistakes.
I do not know what the word
sometimes
means.
Maybe
from September to…
When will they finish
these wrong death sentences?
Will we live to see?
Human Tragedy
A cry for nothing,
everyone nearby became deaf.
No one can hear calls for help!
Nobody wants to hear anymore!
Who else can react?
Only a watchful rat
who emerges from his burrow
to taste human hatred!
