Over and Done
Over and done, no words remain,
Only noise—a hollow refrain.
No roots, no rules, no steady ground,
Just scattered thoughts, lost and drowned.
No lessons left in books so torn,
Pages stacked, ignored, forlorn.
Now words are mere decoration,
Echoes of a lost foundation.
Ask a question—get it fast,
No thought needed, built to last.
A song, a beat, a fleeting trend,
Media shapes how thoughts descend.
They called it "smart," they built it wide,
Typing thoughts, no need for pride.
Machines now speak, they took the stage,
And silenced voices—trapped in a cage.
Oh, words, where have you gone?
They shaped you, crushed you all along.
Now silence rules, tongues are still,
A world with no voice, no words, no will.

My Heart Speaks, But You Say Goodbye
My Heart Speaks, But You Say Goodbye My heart whispers words so true, But all you say is just "goodbye." You leave me longing, lost in pain, Forsaken love, a heart in vain. I've loved you for so long, Dreaming of a day you'd come along. Not once did I forget your name, Yet still, you play this distant game. My heart speaks words so true, But all you say is just "goodbye." Your love once shined, a light so bright, Yet when I fell, you left my sight. If one day love calls your name, Searching for the spark, the flame, Would you still be there to stay? Or would you turn and walk away?

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
