Aram Stefanian Poems

When a guilty verdict was announced,
Steven, the serial killer, gave a sardonic smile
How he wanted to slaughter the frightened jurors
Before he would be fried
...

Why are the leaders interested in kindling fear?
After watching TV news you might have a heart attack
Isn't this the right time for Jesus to interfere?
He's the one who can pin their ears back
...

You're bored spinning your wheels
A square peg in a round hole called life
Cheated and dumped by your main squeeze
Your xenophobic feelings are running rife
...

Your soul incarcerated itself in a shell of your body.
Missing the former dwelling, it wishes it took wing.
How to survive in the jungle of life you should study.
How come to your own words there's always a false ring?
...

The real YOU turns loose and floats in the air, looking down
At the useless shell of your former body in amazement,
Feeling light and careless, so unafraid of the unknown.
There's no pain, you're filled with euphony of the firmament:
...

In your dream you make a rapid skip beyond time and space.
For the first time you're free from a mundane rat race.
Like a bird, you're flying to meet mysterious infinity,
Amazed and bewildered to find dazzling luminosity.
...

When Jesus Lopez fell out, his pump nearly stopped
He slipped into a coma for a week, a hopeless case
Nobody noticed how a tiny shred out of his body hopped
And a weird smile appeared on his pale lifeless face
...

One day you'll be driven out of the planet Earth
To leave for a new world more than giga miles away
And find out that you were also extraterrestrial by birth
To enjoy feeling free from the gravitational sway
...

You wanna sprout wings and fly away to heaven
To become a messenger of God and carry out His will
Offering loving wisdom and guidance to any human
Dedicated to serve and to heal all who are taken ill
...

Am I a sap hanging around on this alien planet
A dream digger, or maybe a fifth wheel of a seer?
I used to buzz along saddling the tail of the comet
Once a medium among scattered stars, was I devoid of fear
...
