A flower in the garden is more enjoyable
than all your talk at noon
of spoiled tomatoes!
I might have answered, “why don’t you just
throw them out?”
With a smile and a stillness
on my lips, I will do little
but watch for a day!
No masquerades—please—
I embrace
continents
through the green grass...
soft is the wind—
distant the sea!
I’ve walked the path—
a thousand times
dreaming, composing,
I hear the cutting
of onions in the kitchen …
I’m content.
O feeble-minded cowards!
Dull as rancid fat!
Must we hear again and again
of the traitorous,
dishonest,
violent man?
How much is enough? Well, I say: “Now
is enough!”
If this is a sport for some,
I’m sorry but —let’s be fair
to a tired nation and its people!
Ban the evil one—for all times!!!!
Beware of Pandora’s box!
