EVRENİM - My Space

Wenn eine kleine Liebe geht
Dann haben wir verstanden
Wie's in den engen Herzen um uns steht
Die einst sich an uns banden

Wo Herz das Ganze nie begreift
Dort bringt der Kopf das kleine Trauern
Weil uns die alte Hoffnung streift
Doch ist's am Ende nur Bedauern

(C) 2020

One day it started, at first very shy,
That slyly but daily some people would die
More and more had to go every day
And each one of us had to find a way
To cope with something so out of control
No loophole left for a single soul

So many unanswered questions we had
Some were angry, some went quite mad
So many were nothing but much afraid
And still others tried a silly debate
With which restriction they came to terms
If really there were those dangerous germs

Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide

We were lucky back then with that sudden threat
If we had not reacted we'd all be dead
The planet had nearly gone down the drain
But our last efforts were not in vain
When finally most of us knew what was wrong
When we came to sing a very new song.

Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around all our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide

We realised we overcame this disease
Only if everyone were at ease
No room for judgemental stupidity
No time for power and bigottery
No air for cruelty, violence or sway
If any of us was to see a safe day

Since then no hierarchy needed no more
Everyone now understands the score
No greed, no selfishness, no war, no fights
Everyone everwhere lives the same rights
It's the only way: we all care what we do
And know exactly what we always knew

Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around all our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide

Humanity differs from fauna because
We feel the need to care above laws
Music and art and language and ideas
Are the only we way to cope with fears
If we care not to step on someone's toes
We can be content without hardly any woes

Ref.
This was the time when we had to decide
To turn around all our lives earthwide
Or to face a constantly rougher ride
Till the very last tree and the ever last tide

A Song for LK

was ich mir vorstelle wie es dir geht

diese unruhe die dich immer begleitet
diese verdammte unruhe
du interpretierst sie
du vermisst uns wenn wir nicht da sind
ihn sowieso aber wenn er da ist
spürst du die unruhe immer noch
etwas gedämpfter zwar
doch sie ist da

uns aus der heimat vermisst du auch
doch wenn du hier bist bei mir
treibt sie dich wiederum um die unruhe
nie kannst du loslassen
nie mehr dich fallen lassen
nur minuten lang kannst du ruhig sein
die alte sicherheit ist fort
die welt hat sie vertrieben

wo du endlich wieder zuhause bist
du weißt es nicht
dein kopf sagt dir: das ist doch hier
wo du bist
doch das sehnen es hört nie auf
das vermissen
ebenso wie das wissen
dass du nie finden wirst was du suchst


was ich mir dazu denke

du weißt es schon
wenn du ehrlich bist weißt du
das viele denken und grübeln hat keinen sinn
keinen anderen als die unruhe zu erhalten
du genießt sie ebenso wie du sie fürchtest
dabei ist es ganz einfach:
du bist schon angekommen in deinem leben
das ist sicher

for catcher

today
underneath an advertising pillar
a dead dove
directly beneath the words printed above
protection of species
covering native bats
so Orwell is still right
some animals are more equal than others

this morning
between masks and laughter
a shouting and clapping hands
keep the distance
understand that every problem
is a global one
we all agree about the need
we need to change the system

no justice
no peace

no dove
no bat
