Are Too

In the world full of strange
I find myself in the hands of the enemy,
losing control to what I can not see
giving mercy to myself for being weak
Colliding with the ones, who are like me
I gain control of all emotions, except the ones I can't be.
I found this one true beauty by my side.
ignoring all the crying and lies
A sorrow so deep, I can't sleep
after I devour what I want 

Rain will pass, rain will come
A coffin, a grave
Until there is nothing left, promises--promises!

I see the world from the inside
you see the world from the outside
it takes a better seed of beans

a life I buried, a life I intervene
no one can explain what I really mean
With a twist, I live breaking the laws given to men.

Loving the way the world revolves
a not so simple fact locked in the brain
a poet not to be in this world made insane
a loss of instinct, bestowed to roam above with men.
Only I can solve the lie about the truth
 infinity will solve nothing

Like a scavenger, I look for prey, while you pray.
like the mind on an empty stomach
I pity the sun for all its weakness --light.
around the dimness of my life
I find the truly forgotten sight.
a rage with my life cut out by the hands of a knife
Exploring the power of the night.
in every so-called journey in life.
I walk the shoes of the ones I choose.
A path with my installed confusion, I produce.
in a mental state I leave upon you, 
reading between the lines 
the red, yellow bricks you follow
are the ones I laid to screw with you.
careful if you screw with me, 
the Universe expands with infinity,
-- a study you call it chemistry.
Leaving me in this world with an entire flock?

the bottom line is the evil one has his own plot.
Me myself and I have the need to manipulate the ones WE want.

Hi P.D., I worked in Sri Lanka for a few months and saw many rice fields (they are actually called Ppaddy fields), but the most impressive I saw in Indonesia (Bali) on a holiday trip back in the 1980ies. The water is not really muddy only when the women are planting the rice. It is a great picture when the surface mirrors the blue sky and white clouds. Your write here is really brilliant...Keep writing and thanky for your comments...Gert
