Jan Oskar Hansen Poems

Many problems

So many problems, Myanmar is no longer "democratic."
the army staged a coup and the famous lady- I can´t spell her name
...

Self-determination for all

Freedom is not always what it is supposed to mean
It gets curtailed by the influence of the world we live in,
...

The new language
It is not the blatant lies that bother me, the truth has become weaponized
In the form that lies are between the lines become a new way of speaking.
I read what RT has to say their news is often the truth with a slant to give readers.
...

Race riot
...

Haiku
Invisible flowers
Hidden among razed houses
Jordan valley
...

The divine comedy


The comedy we make, I think of the US senate
...

It could be true

I often wonder if there is a secret plot.
If the virus was human-made to reduce the number
...

The sea of the forgotten

When I sit on the terrace and the world is silent.
I can hear the ohm of the restless sea filling me with sadness.
...

Officers and Gentlemen

I think this was the name of the movie I saw a romantic love story
of an officer aspirant and his girlfriend who worked in a factory.
...

The rancorous people

There is a country we are not allowed to mention
lest we are banned and silenced if telling the truth.
