Konjit Berhane Poems

One is always tough
Was never enough
Chances are usually twice
Having two ears and eyes
...

It seems as if he was thrown out of
The bar
He ran and knelt down on the side walk
The beggar

...

Feeling rage
Want a change
Came here and went there
Wasted my time and energy
...

Oh! I would have preferred
A one sided world
A cheap metal than gold
A happy life and not sad
...

I don’t like you
You don’t like me either
All we talk about is
Politics and the weather
...

As usual the sun rises
‘N it has to set
Life goes on…. as
It will never end…
...

Just like Christmas lights
The street lights turn on and off every second
The night guard of the bank has fallen asleep
Hiding his eyes behind those big eyeglasses of his
