POEMS

Here are some of the 150 poems from the book FLOWERS DO SPEAK.

DARLING
Darling,tell the churches to be silent.
Let me hear God speak through birds.
Darling,tell teachers to be on mute.
Let me learn nature by looking at the sea.
Darling,tell politicians to be at last speechless.
Let me live my life with the laws of my heart.
Darling,tell policemen to be humane.
Let me find my way with rights and freedom
Darling,tell mother not to worry.
Let me be myself even if that means living with no glory.
Darling,tell father not to drink.
Let me learn what love is through a family.
Darling,tell God to wake up.
Let me respect Him by respecting animals.
Darling,tell me to shut up.
Let us make our love a new star in the silent sky.

DEATH SENTENCE
I am a son behind the sun.
I am a daughter with no water.
I am a man not even humane.
I am a woman stolen by a man.
Living is like a death sentence.
My lips are sealed,can't utter a sentence.
Don't have no tears, to cry my why.
Why i must live and never die.
This heartless life cuts me as a knife.
No blood inside,only fears that i hide.
No God by our side,only our killed pride.
This world is a prison,with no reason.

NOTHING
Nothing happens in my heart.
Monotonous rain fills my path.
Am i a woman, a girl or something?
Setting mind cries i am nothing.
Nothing in my stillness moves.
Feelings, emotions all dead youths.
Am i sea, mountain or moon?
Oh a prisoned dead, happened so soon.
Nothing to think, mind a stranger.
Counting my tears my only pleasure.
Am i the love,the hate, the passion?
Breathing seems to be my only action.
Nothing feels will never cease.
Thoughtless words my chained disease.
Am i me,you or nobody?
Please someone love me to be somebody.
Please someone love me to be somebody…

NET
Our planet is the internet,
and I am an alien in net.
Fax me, email me, friend me and like me,
join me and follow, read me and write me.
See me and hear me, vote me and note me,
search me and learn me, rate me and suggest me.
Our planet is the internet,
and I am an alien in net.
I am out of age, for my age,
and my time has no time.
Past is past all so fast
nothing will last, that's a must.
I live the days of the TV or not TV
and that we agree we disagree.
Caught in the net of internet
where my life is out of life.
Our planet is the internet
and I am an alien in net,
just an alien in internet.
Be in the book, to have a look,
send me a tweet, oh you are so sweet.
Have my profile in your favourite file,
let's meet in your page, oh what a lonely age.
Our planet is the internet
and I am an alien in net,
just an alien in internet.
