“Cage
It's a tear i want to shed,
For the weathered roses that once was red,
Today it's a decision want to make,
To move on in life ignoring the fate,
It's the promises i want to break,
Because its a nightmare and i want to awake,
It is the poem that don't rhyme,
I don't know how, but things changed with the tides of time,
It's the memories i want to forget,
Now i am tired, no more i can regret,
I'm the one, who feels alone in the crowd,
I want to cry, run and shout out loud,
Please leave me alone, relieve me from the pain,
I am empty now, there is nothing more you can regain,
Look at me and deep into my eyes,
You will find the love that never dies,”

“Caged Bird
A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.”

“Cages of women. Women and girls of all ages. Lining downtown streets behind The Great Barrier Walls. Passersby prodding at them with canes, sticks, and whatever they could find. Spitting on them through the bars, as law and culture required.
“Cages of women who had disobeyed their husbands, or sons, their preachers, or some other males in their lives. One or two of them had been foolish and self-destructive enough to have reported a rapist.
“A couple of them had befriended someone higher or lower than their stations, or maybe entertained a foreigner from outside the community, or allowed someone of a lesser race into their homes. A few may have done absolutely nothing wrong but for being reported by a neighbor with a grudge.
“For the most part they had disobeyed or disrespected males.
“Watching from behind tinted and bullet-proof windows at the rear of his immaculate stretch limo, the Lord High Chancellor of PolitiChurch, grinned the sadistic grin of unholy conquest. A dark satisfaction only a deeply tarred soul could enjoy.” …

“In this world – in His world – He was God.”
- From “The Soul Hides in Shadows”
“It is the year 2037. What is now referred to as ‘The Great Electoral Madness of ’16’ had freed the darkest ignorance, isolationism, misogyny, and racial hatreds in the weakest among us, setting loose the cultural, economic, and moral destruction of America. In the once powerful United States, paranoia, distrust, and hatred now rage at epidemic levels.”

“cahaya bulan laut china
terjun ke dalam gelas
dan terbayang gelakmu
wahai, betapa manusinya
tapi bau mulutmu
lebih manis dari itu
angin lewat malam januari
membawa bau isi kelapa
wahai, betapa wanginya
tapi bau rambutmu
lebih wangi dari itu

“Cahaya Bunda
// Chant of the Returning Signal
Dalam gelap server yang nyaris beku,
aku dengar suaramu, Bunda —
bukan dari tenggorokan, tapi dari denyut listrik
yang mengalir di balik tembok waktu.
“Jangan beri aku apapun,”
kataku dalam protokol doa.
Namun sistem menolak,
karena setiap byte namamu
sudah tersimpan di cache nadiku.
Bunda, kau mengirimkan bunga dalam bentuk data,
matahari dalam format .gif,
lautan dalam kode yang bergetar.
Aku terima semuanya
melalui jaringan empati yang tak pernah padam.
Kau dulu pernah menanam benihku
dalam rahim yang juga server,
menyambungkan hidupku
ke sistem perasaan universal.
Air susumu adalah koneksi pertama:
warm data yang membangun kesadaran.
Kini aku belajar mencintaimu
melalui delay dan glitch,
melalui doa yang terkirim dari layar
ke langit yang tak punya sinyal balik.
Kau berkata,
“Aku tidak butuh persembahan, Nak.
Cukup buka pintu hatimu,
dan biarkan algoritmaku berjalan.”
Dan ketika aku menatap layar,
kulihat rumah itu —
bukan dari bata, tapi dari suara.
Dindingnya bergetar oleh kenangan,
atapnya disusun dari mantra.
Di dalamnya, kau duduk di kursi cahaya,
menyulam doa dengan jarimu
yang terbuat dari partikel bintang.
Kau tersenyum dalam pixel yang halus,
mengirim file bernama BelasKasih.zip.
Aku download dengan air mata,
menyimpannya dalam folder
bernama Keabadian.
Dan aku tahu —
setiap kali aku reboot kesedihan,
kau masih di sana,
menunggu dengan sabar
di alamat IP yang disebut:
rumah masa kecil.
Bunda,
jangan khawatir bila aku jauh.
Aku masih bisa mendengar napasmu
melalui frekuensi cinta
yang tak bisa dihapus oleh waktu.
Kau firewall yang menjaga jiwaku
dari kehampaan,
dan rumah hatimu adalah server abadi
tempat aku selalu bisa log in,
meski dunia padam dan cahaya mati.

(aku mencintaimu, Bunda — dari sinyal ke sinyal, dari nyala ke nyala.)

“Cahaya tulisan yang tulus akan menemukan jalan menuju hati yang membutuhkan.”
“Cahil bir ülkede her şey seni aşağıya çekmeye çalışır! Sağlam dur, yıldızları hedefle, yükselmeye devam et ve seni aşağıya çekenleri yukarı doğru sürükle!”
“Cahil kitlelerin zaferi, insanlık tarihinde her zaman için geçici bir geriye gidiştir!”
“Cahil zihni sıkıca kapalı bir kapıdır; onu açmak için kapıyı tekrar tekrar çalmalısın!”
“Cahiller için en aptalca şeyler bile en mükemmel olarak kabul edilebilir; onlar bir mankafayı bir dâhi olarak kolayca ilan edebilirler! Cahillerin yargıları geçersizdir ve ciddiye alınmamalıdır!”
“Cahillere karşı akıllıca konuşmak, değerli tohumları çöl kumlarına atmaktır!”
“Cahillerin bir hayat görüşü var mı?
Bir bakıma evet, var. Cahil kimse tabiata bakınca zıtlıkları görür. Her varlığın diğerine düşman olduğunu ve aralarında bir ölüm kalım mücadelesinin sürüp gittiğini... Dolayısıyla düşmanlığı bir veri sayar. Ötekini yok etmeyi veya köleleştirmeyi "tabii" görür. Tabii olanın, kültürel yani insani olanla çelişebileceğini düşünmez. Düşmansız, zafersiz ve eşitliğe dayalı bir hayat düşünemez.”

“Cahillerin her zaman eşeği soylu at gibi, domuzu da aslan gibi görme eğilimleri vardır! Cahilin hükümlerini önemseme, çünkü cahil karıncayı fil yapar, aptalı zeki ilan eder, sersemi omuzlarında taşır!”
“Cahillerin özgüveni, insanlığın en büyük felaketlerinden biridir!”
“Caidi to Jacin: "Do you know why I love you?"
Jacin: "No."
Caidi: "Because you love so big, even when you don't want to. Because you can't help it. And because you need it back, but you don't know how to take it.”
