Close To Zero Şiiri - Muhammed Akkuş

Eyes once opened, destined to shut lastingly
Information rushed through the faint bid
Called a human, who generally sails awry
To the future in which all possibilities are insipid
The mind might have paths taken rightly

Limits were surpassed, perception failed
Instincts lent a hand, they clumsily adapted

Emotions were randomly introduced
The offer—by the host—was accepted

Challenges loomed on the colorless horizon
The wanderer couldn’t run to find a reason

Failures and victories followed one another
In this chain, who are they to even bother

Following the next steps, traces faded away
Along with the tears on their cheeks either way

The sun and the moon clashed, for hope it was the doom
Without imagination the world turned into a dim room

Broken wings seemed withered, stealing faith
Staring downward, strings emerged, clung to the sheath

The master was brilliant, prevented suspicion
The puppet as well, blending in a hallucination

What both had and bore gradually vanished
Leaving a container full of marks behind
