Towards Human and Horizon
I run very long on soil towards horizon
I saw much of being season by season
I stopped, then thought of my mission
I only see together-living as the reason

I run very long on soil towards horizon
I saw much of being season by season
I stopped, then thought of my mission
I only see together-living as the reason
It has lasted long to become a good master
Then came the fame and started real disaster
Lets hear my story before you run away faster
I came from a cell and like all left as a waster
Cosmos is a tiny sight of ours
World is a tiny diet of ours
Head is a tiny image of colors
Heart is a bunch of beloved-flours
Hey slave, how long kings and queens?
All can live like siblings or even twins
They poses our labor, and even our lives
Let’s rethink , then rearrange commons
Hey soldier, pride of the nations
A day comes, but full of emotions
You burn bread with any motion
Wheat grows on soil, do an action
Hey refugee, what do you seek around here
Soldier uprooted you from your own soil
Asylum from another soldier here is unfair
unjust circles around the world, there and here
If freedom is taken away by Satan
Either in west or even in Kurdistan
One wants east and another west
A sip of wisdom, defeat Dictatorstan
Hey poet, leave heart’s deal and mood
Just stare! Don´t measure who is bad or good?
The play of dumbs reflects in soldier´s deed
Rich´s budget for war upon our labor for food
The primitive human began struggle with stone-throwing
It arrived at mosque with shouting and church with ring
Politic passed the darkness of middle ages and grew wings
It crushes now man between struggle of left-, right-wings
Stare at the globe from my eyesight and not only a glance
fighting against terrorism and killing the killer for tolerance
Nazi against feminist for blacks´ sperm from USA or France
Turks´ hate of Kurds, Pandemy, America's walls and fence
The raven come one after another
They expel birds and their mother
They subjugate only the mother
The field is empty, oh what a shudder
Athen‘s hills boils lyric and Hexameter
Phyx hill shapes democracy in diameter
Akropolis changes it all to Freedom
Mediterran wind spreads meter by meter
Born from the earth, which made me potent
Grown by the water, which shapes transparent
Worn out by fire, which took my equivalent
Gone with wind of air, which took my talent
It is neither warm, nor cold, a day of new-rose
Sun rains the heat on my skin like in Newroz
breeze passes the earth from the see to the rose
It gives me life, It gives existence to a new-rose
I flee from the city to the Village
I am tired of competition with Savage
Then build such a beautiful Cottage
Thus all kings wish for my voyage
Nothing was added to the cosmos after my birth
I watched my whole life the movements of universe
After my death, nothing´ll be subtracted from earth
Traveling from the earth, but going beneath the earth
The lips of Cleopatra, which drank the wine
The arm of Julius Caesar, which ruled fine
All came to the world and back to the soil
grape sucks that soil and I drink its bitter oil
I am learning from Burn to death, then from west to east
Please, give me a place in your police, the only poet at least
Hey Plato, knowledge seems like the allegory of your cave
The Elements of my flesh also exist in the soil of my grave
the sky rubbed the darkness again and it’s twilight
I couldn’t sleep again for one more lonely night
Love has blossomed in my heart from the first sight
It rounds in my crazy head with fertility of my heart
Breeze takes your Aroma and I softly breath
I smell it with a smile on lips, flows underneath
Head plans the date, heart joys for we both
lips, and kisses before we get back to earth
Beloved, you were always a calm breeze
Warm from Mediterranean only to ease
What hurt you Love? angry lady or dizzy
Khusraw doesn’t shudder with strong breezy
I put my lips on the lips of beloved to live forever
She put her lips on shacked lips to say a secret ever
forget the guarantee of forever-living, never ever
If you go the way out of my determination, it's over
The beloved gave me the wine happily
I drunck and It flowed into vain slowly
It arrived in my heart and I got brave
I Desire a kiss befor I faint to the grave
Hey gypsy, tap on strings, tap on my mood
With rattled strings, my soul raises to moon
Love flows in my heart, then a Boom
Where do I come from, where i go soon?
If you count my life in solar year as Kurds do
If you count my week in seven like Babylonians do
If you count my life in hours like Sumerians do
I am counting for the moment with beloved, all to do
I was passing the war on land to Wreckage
Ah beloved, I thought of a small cottage
Me and you together, without time and age
Instead of living it up in Capitalists´ hostage
My heart beats, while waiting for you
I only count time, you count my age too
This date lasted long for me and for you
I'm ready even to perish, but before you
I’m fishing for a living my whole life
Fish is in my hooks, but it sometimes dive
in hooks of beloved hair, I don’t thrive
Hunting goes on and on in life with every dive
This lifetime drifts really very fast
beware, don’t ever think about god’s test
Combing the beloved hair by fingers fast
Intermingle with her, it might be the last
Heart is frustrated of constant religion and faith
Brain is tired of deep comprehension and long process
Everyone in history has spoken of something else
I find truth only in the hug of my love, my goddess
Pacific and Atlantic come from my eyes
Storm and thunder come from my cries
Sympathy comes from heart, it never dies
I stay from cradle to grave with your lies
Friends, after my death, if you get together
remember a memory of our gatherings together
Let's enjoy and drink with beloved ones together
In my turn, kiss the beloved, nothing else matters
Its roots deep in the ground
It blossoms, then shapes round
It flows into the blood, then head
I fly high in the sky, then I fade
I‘m so happy, which my heart dances
I’m so drunk on wine of that romance
That’s all because of my high success
Mine is better than, what kings possess
The sun rises and I am happy of a new sunny day
But unaware that a night of my life passed away
The life is passing with last nights and new days
Let’s drink another sip of the pure wine and just lay
I put my lips on the lips of wine-glass
I wanted to get numb in life or even less
It put its bitter lips on my doubtful lips
secret: drink me until going underneath
I was wandered in wisdom on my way
I asked an old wiseman staring at the sky
He offered me a glass of wine with a sigh
We were wondering, and asking us „why?
If you have run to horizon the whole life, nothing
If you have slept in your bed the whole life, nothing
finally, the sun of life goes slowly down to nothing
beloved, drink another sip of wine, the rest is nothing
Let's run away from science and sentence
Let's drink a sip with the beloved in silence
Hence it is the real meaning of our existence
coming from earth and left alone in universe
Heart calls the memories with friends and says past was nice
Head has goals and makes plans, it utters future will be nice
They both are arguing badly in masses, if past or future are nice
I drink a sip with beloved to enjoy now, and say: that’s nice
Universe whistled in my minds’ ear slowly
Do you know about the plan of cosmos narrowly
A cell of my heart heard it and cried loudly
Khusraw, you die finally, thus drink wine jowly
Moses, who Commanded to genocide from Sinai Desert just for god
Jesus faced crucifixion and his followers had to desert him for god
Muhammad, who wrote with blood to conquer from Arabic-desert for god
Thus spoke Zarathustra of Mithra to the three "desert man for good"
From the day, which pushes mankind to regather
From the Night, which makes fear of each-other
The day and The night, which made a god together
He turns back to punish one by one or all together
I stretched my hand to the god in town
His throne shaked, he dropped his crown
He shocked and run away loosing his own
I laughed at tiny glory, and his huge down
Hey head, you haven’t got the depth of being
I am not more clever than before, nor a king
Hey heart, you lost the enjoyment of being
I promise you all, but I give the head nothing
Head tried the best to understand the secret of life
But it found only a virtual image and it is naive
Heart tried the best to find out all about pure love
But it found only a visual image, but it's not alive
You wake me up every night
You take me to light all night
You give my blind eyes a wide sight
Knowledge, are all your deeds right?
I think in the darkness at night
I feel all from heart with sight
I dream of knowledge and light
Then I am lost in science-plight
I saw the surface of everything
I understood the depth of any things
I realize now, who I know nothing
Hence head acted but heart did nothing
Particles, which are the base of existence
Injustice, which is the cause of resistance
Those, who quested particles and justice
all creeped underneath without sightedness
I learned Patiently or in hurry my whole life
I discovered all like the sharpness of knife
Then cheered my huge success with high five
But I'm only a point in order of cosmos' eyes
Those, who sought the life in infinite cosmos
They talked differently about its ordering dance
They didn’t know, that in a cell is existence
They said nonsense and died, but no awareness
Let‘s open the rational eyes, if you’r not blind
Darkness turns into light, truth flows like a tide
You realize a fact, only if you have a keen-mind
Thus rationality makes the deep existence bright
Don‘t expect Fire from an infant
A worm, dependent on instinct, is infant
It needs time to become a dragon
Throhgh thoughts converts to infinite
If I had the existence under my control
I would change it or delete it at all
Thus I would create another from hard soil
Therefore there would exist justice in soul
I walked out lonely at midnight
The city was silent, no more light
A noise came secretly, told me light
let's cheer up, out of thinking-plight
I asked a prostitute sharp as a knife
Are you happy with selling yours alive?
She replayed much more softly than my wife
Don’t lie, if you want to enjoy the life
I see only the stupids all over the surface
I go down and stare, I see death underneath
So far I watch the horizon wide or in depth
I see just mother´s birth and father´s death
The Boy asked the girl for Love, but warm
She put a leaf between her legs with charm
Then she took the African out of any norm
Boy converted to a hateful Nazi, beyond enorm
In this infinite cosmos, who we are wondering
In this wide world, who we are wandering
In this tight bodies, who we are shuddering
In a cell, which the life is always mothering
I was passing through cemetery last night
I saw thousands souls flying on graves light
I asked them fearfully, „is it beneath tight?“
They laughed joyfully, „life for stupids is tight“
The sun shines even at midnight
The moon reflects only its light
For what purpose in life do we fight
It shines on our graves after twilight
I'm very happy of my successes in the morning
Afternoon, I fly to every branch without Wing
I'm happy of my useless attempts in the evening
midnight, thoughts are squeezing my mind of dying
I came as infant from the darkness
Knowledge granted me sieghtedness
With it, I could analyze brightness
But why, death, back to the darkness?
Let’s go on a trip and travel your life
To see the beauty in essence of life
Before last travel underneath, not alive
Experience is mother of ideas in life
Once, I flew alone high in the sky
Cosmos broke my wing, Ah, a sigh
If the wound cures and I don´t die
I fly to the horizon, my end to nigh
Stare at the cosmos, how small am I
I‘m a point in a huge Society of I and I
Contrary to others I always ask „Why“
I go underneath like every vanished „I“
I don’t die even with the glows of fire
Until I find, what is my heart´s desire
Until I gain, what does my mind require
Before I perish under ground´s layer
