Zywa Labyrinth of lies

To young men, heroism
is attractive and if they manage
to survive the monster
they will choose the honour
of the lie

and not admit how it is
but stick to the story
and boast of their courage
knowing that the monster
is a dusky labyrinth

that also frightened
their predecessors until they realised
that the bones are the remains
of starvation, because
the labyrinth beneath the palace

is empty, and the door is hidden
and locked beneath the throne
of the king, who rules
with the power of the story
of a ravenous monster

and whoever wishes to succeed
him must be clever enough
to escape and then
become complicit
in the deception

Zywa Sea above the sea

There's a thin sea drifting
above the sea, I float
everywhere, infinitely
between ancestors
and unborn

The sea kisses and plays
pulls me under water
up in high foams
which splash apart into
my new rainbow wisps

over the sea, from the sea
the bearing sea
engulfing sea
evaporating sea

making depths out
of valleys, creative
darkness, the sea
the full empty sea

Zywa The flag of Peace

Under the Peace Flag
there is the most freedom
to continue the war
referring to provisions
in the Treaty of Peace

There is always a story
to tell about the past
an era to choose
in which is founded
what was lost, a Golden Age

to which the people are entitled
and in which they will arise:
everything will be fine
as long as you have the last word
and silence the dissenters

those traitors of the truth
and the ideals of the revolution
Fight for equal rights
of our oppressed brothers
Free them!

Restore the territory
the foundation of the wealth
and the power of the leaders
then they might grant you
a large statue
