Beneath Unity Poem by Hasan Haskovic

Composing grief in numerous strands
All assigned and lettered in different brands
Without the evasion of pain and life demands
There's no room for future plans

Sadness as a background
To amend for the lack of things profound
Hold my hand
And lay with me on the ground
I'm here to stay

So...
I've been asked many times
If I believe that my crimes
Are worth their weight in blood
But this time I'll perhaps give you an answer
So let the river flood
I'm here to stay

It's just self proclaimed science
This rhythm of violence I've been upholding
Not tired of the infamy
Just of the constant scolding
Yes, I've been alone
But that never prevents the future from unfolding
Scribbling auto-biographic nonsense upon this sheet
A dam of ice holding this scorching sea of defeat
I have a thousand stories to tell
So take a seat
Stay
Please stay

It never goes away
Always fumbling my confidence in the worst way
Iron nuances of misery
With a golden overlay
Never wanted to be held down
Never wanted to be held high
Because either way I'll be lost
And that's something I can't deny

Faking inarticulate cries
So I could diversify an empty room
Thereby I am lost in insane thoughts
Where the darkest of the dark loom
Without you

Objectify the worthless
And multiply your worth
You are the only one who deserves this
To hold my hand as we cast away the Earth
And craft our own abyss

I want to outlive the terror
To fortify our gleam with ebon plates
For I alone am the bearer
Of the way the chime dictates
The immovable specter of censorship
Cast away inside downed estates
I'll ignore all the debates
For you are my light that illuminates
Not an imitation, just unexpected innovation
The way I made myself

Please, stay
And together we'll find a way
To regulate the sea as it is to rise
And under our gaze the world will sway
And together we'll find something to justifise
The way I made myself
