THE CODE

Life is a bloody dream Filled with rough and course scream The road is filled with highs and lows Sky is gray where fair wind blows So, you must learn to set the mode Your heart must strive to live the code For, in the depths of rights and wrongs Lies love that creeps where it belongs In the shadow of sky, so gray Lies light that shines to show the way Where hope dies deep, there glows a spark That drives the souls out of the dark Live with the code, your conscience cries For, in this life there are no tries Mistakes you make will bind you forever To live in mist of stormy weather Eurovision Poetry Contest 10th place

R.B., this is a very thought-provoking poem inspired by Nemo’s 2024 winning song. Especially your penultimate stanza, “In the shadow of sky, so gray ~ Lies light that shines to show the way ~ Where hope dies deep, there glows a spark ~ That drives the souls out of the dark.” Congratulations on your top ten win!
