Sein Uber Zeit Poem by Miroslava Odalovic

Rule the rulers flat lines of the brow
Hyper geometry in numero stones
Washed away numbers within a scarecrow
Compasses throne in spine and bones

Rule rage rule fear rule yes but not me
Rule global lobo rule multi hobo
Sein aber Zeit Sein uber Zeit
Sein uber Zeit I see

I ain’t no subject
I ain’t no object
I’m jellyfish free
No –ject at all
You cannot place
I’m neither big nor small

Rule sages rule over stages
Rule yes but morn is young
The sins of yin in burnts of yang
Happy sun sings in lights unsung

Prophets for profit rule crystal ball
Rulers overruled by their rage and fear
I’m Thou in clear no –ject at all
Sein aber Zeit, Sein uber Zeit
Sein uber Zeit I see

Dare to share mother of courage
Dare to share both shipwreck and salvage!
