Schau Poems | Examples


A BOY AND A BIG DREAM

He crossed the seas with dreams in his hands
a boy from home trying to understand
how to grow, how to belong,
how to be right when everything feels wrong.

On the streets of Germany he welcomed every stare
Every words whispered is a scare
"Schau dir den ‚Neger‘ an,
wie arm und wild er sein kann."

In classrooms, he knew his stuff
books, lessons and long nights of tough.
But sometimes, all they saw was skin
and never paused to look within.

Still, Osman kept his eyes on the goal
not just the surface but for his soul. 
Because he knows knowledge isn’t black or white
it’s what frees one in the darkest night.

Now he speaks not just for him
but for all the racial fights within
for those who held their heads up high
even when the world passed them by.

Mit Kirschen An Den Ohren

ich schau dich an und sehe dich 
ich sehe dich kind
sieh es reiften dir 
die kirschen an den Ohren
und meine hände 
kneten noch dein fleisch
memorieren formen
ich sagte es dir
ich sagte es dir so oft
das ich liebe
ich liebe jede wölbung an dir
ich lernte sie auswendig
alle der reihe nach
ich kenne dich
wenn ich dich ansehe
sehe ich dich mit kirschen 
an den ohren
kind…
