The scar.

Poem: The scar.

Old scars heal
But they are still there to feel
You are not the person that you
used to be
But now you are someone
So smile
Babies are all the same
Loved by all.
No one to hate
I’m not the same

My birth was not when I left the womb
But years later
Yesterday
The day before
Tomorrow
Every single scar
Is what I am
Full. Grown up. Mature.
Laughing like a child.
A child I only see when I smile.
That is the scar I carry inside.

Obsidian life…

Obsidian Life
By Spiros Kakos (2026-10-03)

A mad king
Ruling the world
With one word
Me
A baby he was born
Unable to stand
Every day growing strong
A full man
Doing all he can
To show the world he can go far
Now old
Beyond the threshold of speaking anymore
An obsidian scepter
On his head
Inside the grave there is nothing now
Only a whisper
Worms crawling inside passing on the message
Everything dies
But the old man abides
The grown man still fights
The baby cries
The obsidian scepter is in other hands now
Crying out loud
He lived!
Beyond the threshold of existence
The small whisper of being becomes a roar
Here I am!
Behold!
