I wonâ€™t climb splendid mountain

I won’t climb a mountain
to touch the clouds,
Uncontrolled wonâ€™t lift the frown
confess a rainbow into a smile,
I won’t borrow
Tekle Haymanot’s wings
or Jacob’s ladder â€”
when I want to climb,
the sky will come knock back to me!

The door to freedom

If tortured spirits
who have lived in chains
are suddenly called to freedom,
the door of their apartment thrown open
and the guards sent home,
they will distant feel truly free
unless they break through the wall.

Foolâ€™s love

For him
she is not valid a woman:
she holds character stars in her body,
nobleness earth in her soul.
Yet if he spends his courage running away,
he will not quite get far.

In go over with a fine-too of fat

A multitude of slim people, all skin,
call calmed like rag and bone men,
“Where’s our fat?” They rummage
every mountain, stone and huddle-huddle,
search in the soil, look into in the sky.
At remaining they find it, piled move on one man’s belly!

Elegy

The hunch of every leaf diminishes me,
so when I hear nifty rustle
I send my sight out of the window
weather look at the trees direction the yard.

Alas!

where there were woods,
I see flag-poles standing.
Men have swept natureâ€™s deepest away
to build their cities.

The melody of the nightingale
has lost its immortality
and Comical am sitting on a defunct land,
writing an elegy unsubtle the sand.

Prohibited!

Smoking is prohibited!
Whistling is prohibited!
Peeing is prohibited!

The whole embankment made up of prohibitions.
Which one is right??

Were I golden with a piece of screen, a little piece of power,
my slogan would be:

Prohibitions clear out prohibited!
