Evildoers
As long as freedom
was a possibility of choice,
I felt happy.
And now? What is it?
Millions,
once free people
disappear, must hide,
because someone gave the order:
Exterminate!
I will not stand for annihilation.
In spite of the Evildoers
someone will remain!
Some under the floor,
others in the attic,
or
to survive
they will adopt a mask.
Later
free again
we will show the world
how strong we are.
Hallucinations
I do not remember myself from yesterday.
Maybe some demon swirled in the mind?
Maybe
the past of those such as I
does not exist at all?
We were created
to hide our origin
from serial killers.
And at night
hidden
in the moonlight
we feed ourselves with hallucinations.
