Alfred Barna Poems

You say, you are doing all things for the greater good
And doing to others, what nobody ever should
Harvesting from the world, yet not a single sweat dropped from your brow
Yet telling toiler and sowers you own the world, and you’ll tell them how
...

I write these words, in dedication to my mother
As with most of us, a teacher like no other
Who has witnessed so much in her days
And impressed upon her children: see through the maze
...

You can see the plans for distraction
You can see the moves to split us apart
Eventually, we are paralyzed into inaction
So called masterminds knew that from the start
...

Death is the anchor, by which our sins are tied
It is the executor of our foolish pride
It is only by realization of our mortal senses
We stop bickering with walls, fighting with fences
...

Staring at the stars
Who am I, but one heart beating?
In this world of ours
I am but a glimmer and fleeting
...

The banks and corporations
Can't afford for the people to think
They hand out all the portions
Of aspartame to chew and drink
...

Extremism only leads to evermore extreme
All in all, it just adds on to controller meme
Because no one sees when blinded men will hate
Injustice will never make things that are just
...

I have become a lab rat in a maze
The latest fad and the latest craze
Tracking me from the beginning to the end
Every step I take and around every bend
...

Daughter of mine
Seconds seem like such a crime
Calendars have made of us paupers
For no one shall be wealthy of time
...

How has it been easy for us to condemn
Men who have perpetrated what we have done, as bad
Yet, have not revisited upon our actions once again
Then within my heart, we've lost any argument we had
...
