Children of the Future
I woke up this morning, and I found myself alone, trapped, empty, and acting as if I were brain dead. A child is born, while another one is killed. Walking without asking, breathing without smelling, speaking without listening, seeing without observing, taking without giving, breaking without fixing, mending without understanding, becoming without fulfilling… Who will drop the spears? How many more tears are we willing to bear? Make a difference, become aware of yourself, ask, smell, listen, observe, give, fix, understand, fulfill, make it up to you, it is you all you need, life is a glimpse of your heaven or hell, so… Stay tuned, nothing will be as it seems as nothing really is as you believe, reality is not a memory, reality is beyond us, walk its path, find a new route, nothing stays the same, change is the only thing meant to stay. Future at your feet, just pick it up! Make a difference, embrace change, it is meant to stay as you are meant to say: I Love You! Suddenly, my brain comes back to life, nothing is dead, asleep… No! Don’t be the dead child wandering through the streets of greed, trying to make some sense out of insecurity and fear. Wake up! The old has to go, the new hungers for embrace, today, become change, living child of the future, set us free and shine!

This is so relevant even today. Your words sting hard. If only we could save the day. but alas we’re only poets. Thank you for this fine piece of work.
