Attack on Dead


Deadly darkness slammed into a
Fierce battle,
Through the early morning.

An officer sent,
To persuade the house,
To show his hand.

A concealed weapon,
A deadly wreck,
Feet dangling, two dead.

Secret allies surprised,
Forces in a battle,
100 strikes against us.

Going against the trend,
Have the blessing,
Take the initiative for us.

It’s no longer surprising,
We are very happy hardware,
We desperately needed help.

Shot in Hollywood


Jungle violence, and firearms.
Initial shots were fired
And clashed with the night.

15 years old,
And he broke
He’s not afraid of getting killed.

He was fury and sadness
A couple of kids and crying teachers.
This is day one of forever.

Water shortages, sanitation failures, disease, inequality.

The plan – a no-water scenario,
The world to turn off the taps.

An industrial crisis production,
An alliance of poorer and high-income residents.
People may have lived. The climate prepares change.

Screaming Colours Underground


900 trapped underground; believed to be safe
they suffer; dehydration, some lack access to medication
while they await evacuation

We’re engulfed in flames; screaming

Days later, Kadir recognized his friends
only by the colours of their shorts

Orchards In Translation


The mysterious Department of Fire Protection:
Is it protection for fire? From fire? By fire?
As for that eerie inaudible sound escaping from

ocean waves, the nineteenth century, and golf courses:
Just because it has a hum, does not make it human.
And let us not lead humans to hunt for the Earth.

(Prayer proposed by a usually serene avocado.)
So, why does the Earth hum?
Because it knows not the wording.
