"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

Lonely in the ghettoes of life

By Atok Dan

———————-

My eyes could hardly miss seeing stars at midday,

In the ghettoes lived by desperate souls

The ghettoes depicted by life

Yet souls still flourish

Never mind we are in

———————

In the lonely ghettoes, life could still blossom in the bud

With flowers of love and hope, a festival valentine

Though shall few love the exact mindboggling

All bound by stage of events in the premise

The desperate environment of now

——————-

And I shall leave the rest for self-corrective nature

Is when lonely in the ghettoes of………..

Stars dim in broad day light,

Flowers begin to wither

Dying of desperation,

Gardeners lament too

——————-

And again in the lonely ghettoes of jaunt

Quite impressive that few could dare

To evaluate the sex of………

Its offspring to come,

Faring well with suffering,

I shall labour like a slave,

And eats like a king

——————

In the lonely ghettoes of life,

The lice, the shirt and short,

In the hair on my head….

All are friends of time,

I shall part time with them

When soap, razorblade,

Are all invented,

No longer in squalid,

Peace came
