Two Worlds

The comparison between two worlds

Is the largest distance formed.

Each is nearly the total contradiction

Of the other, and of itself.


Respect, loyalty and efficiency

On one side of the line;

Laziness, noise and rudeness

Thrive in the opposite ambient.


Tell me which world to live in

As I belong in neither.

Can there not be a middle?

Like Earth is

Between Heaven and Hell?


I if I belong neither here

Nor there were I was,

Where does one go?

The heat and friendliness

Flowing from Africa,

To the cold and rain

On the mountains of Europe.


Tell me that I am lost,

And I will easily believe,

For it is not here,

Nor there, nor where

Do I belong.


I thrive for difference

Which cannot be achieved

If rules are to be followed.

Yet who can plainly say

That they only live in one world

If they dream about the other.

My name is Kuda

This is what I am in the world;
a little nobody with no home -
a dot in the vast expanse.
If I disappear - no one will notice,
if I get sick - no one will care.
Ofttimes I go hungry
but no one will share their food with me.
My name is Kuda.

The street is my definition of home,
there is no house but shelters
I run to from the rain.
I live my life one garbage can at a time
sifting through what people throw out:
one man´s rubbish is another man´s meal.
My name is Kuda.
