VrijMiBo voor alle losers
Het is weekend. Kop op. Het kan nog.
Waar ik mijn hart aan heb verpand
in mijn verspild verleden,
het ging voorbij, het hield geen stand,
het is als zand vergleden.
Ik heb mij steeds het meest gehecht
aan sterfelijke zaken,
aan dingen die ik nimmer echt
tot mijn bezit kon maken.
Maar alles wat zo dierbaar was
dat ik het heb verloren,
is mij sinds ik het kwijt ben pas
voorgoed gaan toebehoren.
Prettig weekend. And be nice.

Het is weekend. U mag weer.
Spare me the Roman wars, and those
Who battled on in myth, when prose
Extends to suit these topics better
Than odes in their mellifluous meter.
Maecenas, think on this awhile:
Strong themes are suited to your style
Like dragging tyrants by their necks.
While my sweet Muse would sing of sex,
Of my fair lady, Licymnia
Who fondly hopes her heart will be a
Faithful devotee of mine
With eyes as shimmering as wine.
See how she glories at the chance
To show her prowess in the dance.
Though lightly clad, she's not the least
Shy of display at Diane's feast.
Tell me, Maecenas, wouldn't you
Abjure all wealth, and treasure too,
If Licymnia would choose to spare
One strand of her luxuriant hair?
Even if this flirtatious miss
Denies you the favor of one kiss
To disconcert you, makes you feel it,
She won't accept your kiss; she'll steal it!

Het is weekend. Ga iets leuks doen. Of niet. Mag allemaal.
the nights you fight best
are
when all the weapons are pointed
at you,
when all the voices
hurl their insults
while the dream is being
strangled.
the nights you fight best
are
when reason gets
kicked in the
gut,
when the chariots of
gloom
encircle
you.
the nights you fight best
are
when the laughter of fools
fills the
air,
when the kiss of death is
mistaken for
love.
the nights you fight best
are
when the game is
fixed,
when the crowd screams
for your
blood.
the nights you fight best
are
on a night like
this
as you chase a thousand
dark rats from
your brain,
as you rise up against the
impossible,
as you become a brother
to the tender sister
of joy and
move on
regardless.
Prettig weekend. And be nice.
Fucked up VrijMiBo
Het is weekend. Ja, misschien voelde het al zo, maar nu echt. Hier is een vrolijk vers.
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one anothers throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And dont have any kids yourself.

Het is weekend. Hier is JC de MC.
Natuur is voor tevredenen of legen.
En dan: wat is natuur nog in dit land?
Een stukje bos, ter grootte van een krant.
Een heuvel met wat villaatjes ertegen.
Geef mij de grauwe, stedelijke wegen,
De in kaden vastgeklonken waterkant,
De wolken, nooit zo schoon dan als ze, omrand
Door zolderramen, langs de lucht bewegen.
Alles is veel voor wie niet veel verwacht.
Het leven houdt zijn wonderen verborgen
Tot het ze, opeens, toont in hun hoge staat.
Dit heb ik bij mijzelve overdacht,
Verregend, op een miezerige morgen,
Domweg gelukkig, in de Dapperstraat.

Het is verstopweekend. Vandaag vieren we de geboorte van Johannes.
Und von der sechsten Stunde an war eine Finsternis über das ganze Land, bis zu der neunten Stunde. Und um die neunte Stunde schriee Jesus laut, und sprach:
Eli, Eli, lama asabthani?
Das ist: "Mein Gott, mein Gott, warum hast du mich verlassen?" Etliche aber, die da stunden, da sie das höreten, sprachen sie:
Der rufet dem Elias!
Und bald lief einer unter ihnen, nahm einen Schwamm und füllete ihn mit Essig und steckete ihn auf ein Rohr und tränkete ihn. Die andern aber sprachen:
Halt! Laß sehen, ob Elias komme und ihm helfe?
Aber Jesus schriee abermal laut, und verschied.

VrijMiBo met een vlekje (ANDERS WINNEN DE TERRORISTEN)
Het is weekend. Hier is zo'n warrige poëet.
Does it matter?losing your legs?...
For people will always be kind,
And you need not show that you mind
When the others come in after hunting
To gobble their muffins and eggs.
Does it matter?losing your sight?...
Theres such splendid work for the blind;
And people will always be kind,
As you sit on the terrace remembering
And turning your face to the light.
Do they matter?those dreams from the pit?...
You can drink and forget and be glad,
And people wont say that youre mad;
For theyll know youve fought for your country
And no one will worry a bit.

VrijMiBo in het zand
Het is weekend. Don't call me Shirley.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Prettig weekend. And be nice.

Nummer 14 stuurt de VrijMiBo het bos in
Het is weekend. Hier is de Homer Simpson van de Cariben.
The time will come
when, with elation
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
