Inneres Auge [English translation]

Like a pack of wolves

descending from the plateaus waving

or a swarm of bees

deviously devouring odorous petals

they swing as boulders from

very high mountains in ruins.

One says, what's wrong in organizing private parties

with beautiful girls

to cheer primary and state servants?

We did not understand each other

And why we should pay

also the extras to the ridge-runners?

what can do laws

where does money only reign?

Justice is nothing more than a public commodity ...

With what they would live

charlatans and scammers

if they had no sounding coin to be thrown as a fishing hooks among the people.

The horizontal line

pushes us towards the matter

the vertical one towards the spirit.

With closed eyelids

there is a glimpse of it

that with time - and it takes patience

it opens to the inner look:

inneres auge das innere auge 1

The horizontal line moves us towards the matter

the vertical one towards the spirit.

the horizontal line moves us towards the matter

the vertical one towards the spirit.

but when I return to me

on my way to reading and studying

listening to the great past ...

I just need a sonata of Corelli 2

because I wonder of creation!

1. interior eye, or the third eye

for the Tibetans, that can see the aura of people 2. Arcangelo Corelli, musician and violinist-lived in the '700
