The autopilot of Superposition. Selected poems. Zamirbek Osorov
life and happiness – somewhere deep under water, where the daughter of Ocean waited for me to hold my words what I promised her so long.
The country of blossoming positiveness
To Erica Bruce
The Swiss are so obsessed with art and beauty and a warm attitude to everything around them
that even their streets resembling
the paintings of Picasso
from early bright period,
or the works of colorful and light Cézanne.
They, seems to me, simply do not know to live differently,
hardwired strongly – implicitly and explicitly-
to perform, replicate and master
such kind of behavior —
as a result, the whole country
turns into a masterpiece picture,
or an endless beauty museum,
or, if someone likes it better,
for a sanatorium, resort,
where you can heal your shaky nerves a little
and where absolutely everything
will calm you down and bring you to normal condition.
Alas, that so many other countries and nation
simply do not get into this deep secret of all Swiss achievements,
turning own keen attentions only to banks, plants, watches, chemistries
and other economical and business infrastructure.
Ode to America
(Extract from “Eleanor Rigby II”)
The poem written on the ancient style of Kyrgyz poetry, glorifying natural phenomena’s, blesses and treasures like Sun, an abundance of fresh water, beautiful landscapes in Ala-Too (another name of Kyrgyzstan, the central part of Central Asia, and such human qualities as Wiseness, Kindness, Honesty. Hospitality.
The great Kyrgyz poet of XIX century Jenijok very well-known with the poem (ode) “Mountain River”, another of his famous contemporaries – poet Barpy was well known as the creator great odes to Love, Friendship, Honesty, Justice, and the poet-botanist Chop akyn (the poet of grasses) sang exceptionally about the richness of flora of Ala-Too. As mentioned his friend Jenijok in one poem, Chop akyn created in poetic form the idiosyncratic encyclopedia, which carefully labeled, classified about 400 mountain vegetables and flowers which might be useful for cure great number of various illnesses.
So I decided too, on the shoulders of my great predecessors, make own step ahead and singing about the really worthy phenomena in my epoch and time, believed firmly that Democracy and its values and laws and receipts for implementing might be featured as an extra valuable thing in our world. Even though our Kyrgyzstan could not able to do real step toward Democracy in the past three decades of Independence, nevertheless our experiences, hopes, up and downs, our inspirations, and bitter regrets had not been lost and useless and, maybe, soon we or our next generation will able to get a much better result.
America, you are really the wise nation and state
who knew from the very beginning about the right way
for your citizens
and established the self-governing principles
overfilled with various richness and achievements
as the great effect from the good historical decision and distinctness.
You more than anyone else helped to suffer world.
Yes, your wealth and resources are limitless
and at the same time, you are modestly looking,
and your governor and millionaires
never lost their head from their power and wealth,
and your presidents never changed into the bad and cursed guys
never stole the common properties
and after resigning or toppling
never left their countries with billions,
which were stolen from nations and put secretly in Switzerland’s banks.
America, you are a really wise and good nation
that knows all the secrets of powerful and skillful government
if your leaders make mistakes, you quickly correct them
on the various levels of your great country.
That’s why you have never lost the right direction and hopes,
that so often happened with the other unhappy countries.
which have been totally dependent on the will of their leaders,
that ordinarily used it to do what they wanted
and forgot completely about quality service and competence,
about people’s will, fate, life and credence
and ended badly, cursed by them and history.
So I tell you long live, America,
governed by the people since the XYIII century.
Although you have made mistakes, misleading by bad politics
with bad conceptions and wrong ideas sometimes,
nevertheless, this nature and spirit of a great nation
have grown and nurtured in freedom
recovered rapidly and found the exact way for goodness,
risen again and again as immortal Phoenix
in better shape, holistic and healthy lifestyle then it was before the crisis.
That is the magic of democracy and freedom
which could not get too many others countries
that are suffering still from strong leaders
for hundreds and thousands of years
and proceeds to hope for
a new Big Brother and Stalin and Lenin
for the new cycle of repression, violence, murders, and lethargies.
So if you want prosperity for Kyrgyzstan,
then at first put yourself as close as possible to America,
this chap has strong immunity against slave’s diseases
and you starting to be healthier and wealthier
from this good relation and friendship,
and, look, to one interesting feature:
all the people coming from the West resemble Americans
and they all look as Martian or people from future
often simple and honest as many good Kyrgyz
came down from the big and fresh mountains
who also possible coming from future,
looking very simple and naive in that cruel reality
created by communists, dictators, and fundamentalists.
That’s why long live, America
the greatest country
almost three hundred years
ruled by the invisible hand of freedom,
those people, women, children, dogs and cats
so long lived with the comforts and freedom
that looks helplessly and
