WHO IS GOING TO LISTEN?

RAINBOY DIGITAL VERSION CHRYSSA VELISSARIOU 2014

Flowers are blooming ...

Birds are chirping ...

The world around is chilly

slaughtered by

insurmountable problems

and lack of time .

Some colleagues ,

are fired lately although their PhD ,

were beaten by the police

the other day.

They throw tear gas

every day under Acropolis .

I suddenly saw their photo in the newspaper .

The terrible part is that

it seemed to be expected !

A sense :

A massive daze is hovering ...

Help, people! I cannot 

feed my kids anymore!

I eat only bread in the evening ,

there are not enough eggs for all !

My husband does not eat at all ...

Pity ! We ended up

as actors in a mellow movie of the 50's... 

My sister's family has no income anymore.

Are my beloved nephews provided everyday 

with food on their table ?

They live far away and I do not see what's happening.

I close my eyes and sadness goes away.

Isn't this what we all do ?

Wake up ! I yell ...

People do not know what to do, when and if they wake up .

They are deprived of everything already .

They are roped and hogtied mostly by the Banks.

So they just turn on the other side .

At my job this year

we are facing one another with suspicion .

No one knows anymore, who will stab the other

to save his skin .

Εvery man for himself! Though ...

Our death penalty is just postponed ...

Meanwhile, I started to think that

I am arrogant to continue writing poems ...

Nowadays it is inadequate to live such adventures !

Who can sit down and listen to you anymore?

Got it , sweetheart ? That's why

my passion for you MUST

be reduced to superfluous!

Anything that is not easy or not edible 

has become insignificant now.

We just must crawl down...

No time for emotions...
