three traumas at the same time

they dance together

it happened in one year

over there

where we always look

family, home, relationships

three clouds hung over me

like the veil of the Iron Curtain

during the hardest times

the first has been there since I was born

unaware, I continued this life stream

trying to change mentality for the better

but I managed to mingle merely medium results

straying away, shy, stupefied

with every approach I took

I escaped when the right time

knocked on my door

I didn’t hesitate at all

there I met many of them

they used every opportunity

to inflict this pain on me

and then he came closer

out of the blue, all in blue

telling me I slept

with the whole city

which were news to me

the best part (for him of course)

was that the nationalities

of my unlikely lovers

were the ones I despise the most

yet somehow, I was connected to them

involuntarily throughout life

that’s why it sounded

viciously weird

venomously wrong

voraciously way off

and then when he wasn’t there anymore

safe and sound in his own

home slippers

they struck

unfair war attack

of multiple enemies against me

against the laws of this country

law enforcement against me

for the great lie has been reinforced

without a single proof

to protect their professions as they were acceptable

yet their rules were

trump up

like a foreign policy based on lies

that’s how they worked and they still do

on the same level of indecency in their lease
