Best Poems Written by Yury Emelianenko

Pray

I was praying and now I see a tree

And a bird chirps some words

And I want to shoot it

Because I cannot figure out

Why God

Came down there

And cursed me and says

You are like corn

That can be eaten by the weak

And when it is gone

It is as good as dead

Goes away

The good that goes away

Never comes back

“Mein Literatessen”, said Death

To which a cursed boy told

“Why you are cursed?”

“Simple, Christ

You take it all away from me”

and a boy, who had a Messiahal pretension, told

“Yes, that is exactly

What happened. Christ made that happen”

But now not even in Heaven

Christ dies

Death kneels down before him

And kills him

And says

“Will you please forgive me?”

But then the boy asks

“Did you not kill Jesus?”

“No, I did not

And why?

Because…

He said

“Mein Literatessen”

And the boy replies

“Mein Literatessen is the worst one”

But now death has forgotten

There will be no resurrection

The poor old boy is fading away

So now we see corn on the cob

But there is nothing quite like this

Kiss with death

Having a summer blast with us and then crying

“And the most wonderful thing

Is that we die

Mein Literatessen”
