The Half Circle Quotes

“Wired"

Too many secrets to keep
Sharks: worn out
digging the ocean deep
Submarine days: long gone, over!
Drunken leaders hang on to hangover
For girls: summer time pullover
For men: sundress in October
Is this season disorderly?
Nope, but all things: set in orderly
Who's going to waste our time anyway
when we walk in the clouds leaving the sunny way?
No matter where we live
in a city: dirty or pretty
What are we today
without electricity?
We are nothing
without a wire or a cord
Without slicing apple or berry
what can we afford?
But without a charger
we can get larger
than a swollen battery
As we're overcharged with flattery
already...
Are you ready?
To be charged with us
during this time: grievous?
Then don't be wireless
Stay desireless!”
― Munia Khan, The Half Circle

“A time will come
when emotions will be gone
Birds will stop waiting
for the synchronized dawn
Trees will speak louder
than ever before
Truth will return
through a long closed door”
― Munia Khan, The Half Circle

“Amur Leopard

To knock our conscience
They won’t bang our doors
Like us they’re not silly, nonsense
They are the valorous carnivores”
― Munia Khan, The Half Circle

“Who’s going to cross the border
When a land suffers from ‘human disorder’
Under the bunk bed, into the cave
All mute men there ready to rave
Talking mouth: sealed, mission fulfilled
Not much, only a few million killed!

From the poem Invisible Sign”
