To BE
You look around you one day, look hard, and you see gray skies, horrifying news, people going mad, children loosing innocence, smelless grass, polluted seas, superficial smiles, deadly disease, rootless families, screwed beliefs, pained eyes, deprived souls, lonely hearts, endless roads… and so much, so much more…
You stop for a minute and think: what’s wrong with the world??? You think for just a moment longer and you realize… it’s US and what we have become!
We stopped taking care of what counts, of our dreams, of our children and those around us.
We drowned in the world of material gains…
We buried our hearts and hung on to the brilliance of our IQs…
We lost faith in the human race…
We stopped believing in GOD, we became arrogantly “FREE”…
We forgot about Santas, angels and fairies…we left them behind.
We preferred this forged world to the world of spirit and soul…
We have become shallow empty shells, making excuses for this new “ME”… But deep inside, when you stop for that moment, you realize what you’ve become and it is sad, so very sad…
You try to build again, to become what you once were. You try to see through brighter eyes, breathe with a lighter heart, smile with your soul, love with your entire being…Care to care, love to love, be there because you want to… because you want to…
Those around you are still what they are, but now they don’t understand … they look for your motive, they look for what you have to gain… I told you it’s sad to see what we have become, but I insist on the change… I insist to love and care, I insist to notice the little things, I insist to believe, I insist to give, I insist to live with passion, I insist to hope, I insist to try, I insist to risk, I insist to … for God’s sake…BE… and I insist that I don’t understand why, without any of this, I would open my eyes in the morning, put my feet on the ground…and think that I am actually ALIVE…
