#CHILDREN And we also see our children behind the glass, as if they were taken from us. And we can do nothing. They do not hear us, no matter how much we call out to them. They do not hear us. And we cannot help them. Yes, we can give them money through the guards – and what of it? We ask these thoughts of ours to communicate with them instead of us? But what is the point? The children do not hear us, and thoughts said aloud cannot convey the essence of what we feel for them and what we want them to express. #oursoul #life #book #klopenko https://www.instagram.com/p/B2AVHWmFo7c/?igshid=5jl8zqhkpzkk

Independent art. Independent life. It's complicated. But it's worth it. #klopenko #independentart #art #independence #life https://www.instagram.com/p/B1BkLwmlkAT/?igshid=1vx9hsoe0txgb

And every bad thought, every fear is a servant of this Hell. They are the executors of this torture and their only goal is to keep us locked up behind the glass of our consciousness. * * * But I'm not used to letting myself be tortured. If thoughts, then so be it. If fears, then so be it, Illusion is an illusion. I'm ready to break out of this Hell. * * * Sounds from another world – I hear them. Music can sound and penetrate through even this glass. Especially if you could stop your own groans and disperse the noisy crowd of your own thoughts for at least a second. And since you hear it, it means that you are not alone, so there is something else – someone else is behind this glass. So there is still hope. --- Egor Klopenko «HELL» Dedicated to the Light amidst the Dark. . #poetry #hell #light #writers #klopenko #egorklopenko https://www.instagram.com/p/B0398ZNlR1g/?igshid=17pbl82nr0f36

Here is the Hell of war: Those who invented it – driven by hate, having prepared a full cup of grief and suffering for themselves and others, ready to drink the first sip and having drunk from this bowl until they are unconscious. Who can now drink till the bottom? Until it’s empty? 
* * *
Imagine another Hell: Children abandoning their family homes and suffering from this, even when they’ve become adults. 
* * *
Yes another Hell exists: A man who shoots himself, but has given so much light to all of us – a man who could not stand his own torture. With what and by whom? I do not want to collect newspaper rumours. I know what and how he felt. I know that we have experienced all of this and perhaps we are still experiencing this. Details do not matter. The illusion that came to him in his mind at this moment and many times before that does not matter. What matters is that it was the same slow torture and the same hell that we all know. That you know. We are familiar with it and with these sensations – all of us know it.

Hell.

#BEGINNING

Do not be afraid of this title.

Everything is connected and one thing doesn’t happen without another.

There are so many books that seem to be about war,

But they are about peace instead.

And so many books that seem to tell of evil,

But they tell of good instead.

And, in speaking of Hell, we cannot forget Heaven,

Not to fathom its essence –

Inextricably linked

They are,

One does not exist without the other.

There is no morning without evening

And no day without night.

There is no death without birth.

It cannot be so.

Everything is connected,

The world lives,

Pulsating

Blood in our veins.

Everything

Comes into this world and dies.

And those who are afraid and flee from Hell will never be able to know what Heaven is.

Those who are afraid of grief and suffering can never know true happiness.

Those who are afraid to lose cannot win.

All of them are subdued by their fears, always leading us exactly to where we do not want to go, either plainly or by deceit.
