Quote 1 2022
Only through dizzying obsessions can the shell of one’s own unrest be unraveled
Soap Opera-Reality Show, emotional intelligence …
The entire history, society and state are summarized in these few verses from Euripides’ Medea.
Messenger
When your two children came in
with their father, and went to the bridal chambers
we slaves were glad, those of us who had been distressed before
by your troubles. From ear to ear talk spread quickly
that you and your husband had called a truce to your earlier quarrel.
Slaves are not just slaves, they are first and foremost an “audience”.
To be continued….
Inevitable / Quote
He was a Spartacus but he did not have a house/Obračun s malograđanštinom
there is no greater name-calling of small-mindedness, that oppressive chokehold of establishment thinking… I felt it while creating these verses, from my poem “The pain of vibrant flowers” edited by Obinna Eruchie that I will post on my author’s blog soon…
Nema veće prozivke malograđanštine, nema dalje… Zadovoljna sam.

Some deaths come to make others’ lives easier
Some deaths come to make others’ lives easier. The phrase “Not to speak ill of the dead” falls into the category of grievous hurt and thought defects, lies that are told as “good day” good evening “good night” how are you or… Today, it’s the hottest day of the summer, or… .”Not to speak ill of the dead ”- Just passing the time of day – So much for decorum.
August quote
Beauty and love are everywhere,
all you have to do is to peek over the walls of scorn.
***
La belleza y el amor están en todas partes, todo lo que tienes de hacer es mirar por encima de las paredes del desprecio.

A quote or two per day make all your worries go away
Never trust a poet who can’t use his swears properly.
In poetry, never argue with your ex lovers!
