My Temporary Home
Where everything begins and ends...
Walls are trembling from the cars passing by
Reminding me how brittle is life
Slanted walls are threatening to collapse
Under the amount of rain, snow, and wind during wintry months
In the summer heat is unbearable
Feels like I’ve stepped into an oven with more than 30° C in the shade
Melting everything on its annihilating way
From chocolate to soap and also my face
Having connections with every monster
Drowning in hell for breaking the holy ordinance
Because living in here is like observing the end of the world
Enchanted in the lens of twisted and distorted scope
Of past desires
Playing with me on a couple of different levels
Ignorance mixed up with love
Hate with anger, and a dash of hope
To clean up this polluted air
And wake up in the inner state
Of nutritive consciousness
Paving my way to the purest pride
In overcoming that uncomfortable onus
And being able to say that I have lived
My life the best I could
To omit this temporarily inflicted on me view
Full of snakes, vipers, and panthers
Ready to jump down my throat whilst I don’t look at them
