Totalitarianism
Has blinded
their minds.
Thoughts
Are beating
Around the
Running
Wheel.
Everyone
Who doesn’t
Speed
With
Them
Is an
Enemy.

Under the Star Umbrella
On the evenings like this
The gaze turns to space.
And I’ll be glad to see
how small
humans
are.

Tietoja Yelling Rosa
I am retired. In my spare time I read, write, play the guitar and hike. I have published three verse books in Finnish and recorded my songs. You can listen to them on YouTube. I have translated some of my poems on Yelling Rosa's Weblog. I also like to watch movies.
Olen kiinnostunut lukemisesta, kirjoittamisesta, kitaransoitosta ja luonnossa vaeltamisesta. Olen julkaissut kolme runokirjaa ja laulujani on äänitteillä. Voit lukea runojani Yelling Rosan kotisivuilta ja kuunnella laulujani YouTubessa. Olen elokuvafriikki.

molto riflessiva e sentita questa poesia.
La grafica sa essere ipnotica.😉

Grazie per il tuo commento.
Ho cancellato quell’immagine ipnotica e ho messo un’altra immagine al suo posto. Non ero soddisfatto del primo.
Tutto il meglio per te

Well said and so true, how small we really are as humans but how great our power is…lovely verses my friend, my greetings from Valencia, Spain,
FBC.

Thank you for your comment.
I am happy that you like my verses.
Yes, we are small with great power, which sometimes scares me.
It’s good to think that the universe will survive no matter how huge our mistakes might be.

In fascists dictatorships like China, Russia, N Korea, Vietnam, Iran, Cambodia… for many people compliance is the only way to get through it – a matter of survival – hoping for a better tomorrow.

I just had a Facebook post deleted for ”violating community standards.” (seriously???) So I guess I have become ”the enemy.” I think I’m taking it as a compliment. 😉
TykkääTykkää
Thank you for your comment.
Sometimes it is hard to decide whether to smile or cry.
To take it as a compliment is a good choice 😉
Take care

I enjoyed both poems, especially the second one because sometimes when I’m depressed about how humans treat each other, I think about the vastness of space and how small we must look in God’s creation.
TykkääTykkää
Thank you for your comment.
I am happy that you enjoyed the poems.
I am taking, as like you, the superb comfort when I see human beings in the proper perspective. Life will always be more robust than our stupidity.
Take care ❤

Wow! These are really meaningful lines. It is sad to see how we treat fellow humans, being oblivious to their pain or joy. We fail to realize that we are just a tiny speck in the universe of existence and sometimes believe the world revolves around us:)

Despoten
hausen
vereint
zusammen
mit der Innenwelt
der Aussenwelt
in uns selbst
unsere Gedanken
wehren sich
gegen die Allmacht
spiritueller
und weltlicher
Übermacht
der wirkliche Feind
sind wir uns selbst
so wie wir
den Zweifel
zum Urteil
an uns
an anderen
verurteilen
geblendet von
dem Tabu
den Mächtigen
mit Worten
die eigene Stirn
nicht bieten
zu dürfen
TykkääTykkää
Vielen Dank für Ihren Kommentar mit tiefen Gedanken.
Alles Gute für dich 🙂
