Whispers rise like smoke, thick with allegations,

Twisting truth and lies in tangled narrations.

A game is played but narrated different ways,

With allegations of collaboration between players and game officials.

The scorecards after four rounds read all different things,

Filtered through different narrations—one counting jabs, the other haymakers.

Allegations are a part of EVERYTHING,

From presidential selection to ego-tripping BITCHES

Bringing up mistakes of yesterday.

I can't get away from this finger-pointing narrator.

Yes, I ate her rear end like five years ago—get over it.

But he stays rent-free, making me feel ashamed of my every mistake,

And never even congratulates me when I succeed.

He reminds me all the time:

"I'm the best you will ever find."

"You need me."

Yeah, I need you...

Because what would I do if I didn't have you, my favorite demon to fight?

Hell, I might have a peaceful night.

I might stop being wrong and be right.

I might do what you said I never could.

Either way, I wouldn't have allegations launched my way

All day, every day,

By Mr. GottaHaveItMyWay.

It's time

Time to break away

Like MJ.

ΔΕΝ ΚΑΤΑΒΛΗΘΗΚΑ | Κιντζονίδης Παντ. Λευτέρης Δεν καταβλήθηκα νὰ περιμένω τὴν ἠχὼ τῆς φωνῆς μου. Ἡ λύπη δὲ μὲ ἀπαγοήτευσε Σύρθηκα στις κορυφογραμμὲς τῆς ἐλπίδας νὰ βιάσω τὴν ἀνατολή κι’ ἀναγνώρισα στην τιμωρό κοιλάδα πνιγμένους σὲ διάφανο νερό κατακλυσμοῦ τοὺς τυμβωρύχους τῆς κακοθυμίας. Αξιοσημείωτα από το βιβλίο του Λευτέρη Παντ. Κιντζονίδη “Εγκλειστοι” [photo by Korina]

Tuhan baik

karena telah

menghadirkanmu

di dunia ini.

Tuhan baik

karena menciptakan

senyum paling manis

di raut wajahmu.

Tuhan baik

karena menganugerahkan

sepasang mata

untuk memandangmu.

Maka jangan salahkan aku

bila aku mencintaimu.

Crawled my way out like I'd been tortured by Vogons 🤢
