REVOLUTION

Many times
I wondered why
all revolutions,
once glorious,
came to a bitter
end
in defeat.

Revolution is a word
that comes from
old French,
used to describe
the movement
of celestial
bodies
in the skies
rolling around
something
until their end.

People move
and revolve
for as long as their
most
critical issues
are unsettled
and their most
urgent claims
are unattended.

But as soon as
some of their claims
and issues
get resolved,
they start
slowing down
until full
stop,
or even
reverse.

It is not human
nature what
causes this,
is that people
starting revolutions
are always thinking
about their
own
claims
and issues
instead of
mankind´s,
so then is easier
to overlook
the bigger
picture
and stop.

I might not be any
different,
but am just sharing
what I
thought...

A PLACE TO LIVE

No bars on the
windows,
no locks on
doors,
no fences
around.

No laws to prevent
the new and
bright
to flourish.
Without suspicions
of the
newcomers,
of those with
different looks,
or simply
different.

In other words,
a place without
fear.

NOTHING TO WORSHIP

I despise money
for it is a tool of inequity
although I admit
I need it to survive in an unfair
world.
I reject religion for it
clouds the truth
although I accept
it gives relief
to many.
I doubt the power
of reason
as it is doubt the most
powerful
tool of reason
itself.

So here I am,
stranded lost into a
nothingness
that empties my days
with nothing left
to worship
but love
though not brave enough
to love as much
as I should do.
Not even myself.

And there's no one
here
to help.

VICIOUS CIRCLE

Irrationality leads to greed,
and greed,
gives birth to inequity.
With inequity comes
the fear
of being left behind,
or out,
which takes us back to
more irrationality
to close this
nasty circle,
this enslaving chain.

We need to find the
weakest link
and break it,
or we'll be
condemned to relive,
over and over,
the same old
crap.

LIKE THE WIND TO THE DRY LEAVES

Something hides behind
the mask of
progress
that makes me
wonder
why are we always
messing up
everything.

We are now more
connected
than ever,
but have never
been more
narcissistic
and selfish
before.

We could be within
two days
anywhere in the
planet,
but have never been
more afraid to
leave our
living rooms.

Why?

It feels like
we are not really
in control.

NO WAY OUT WITHOUT KNOCKING DOWN THE DOOR

It is not about
death
no more.
It is about
those lives
not worth living
no more.

It is about those
gray zombies running
all around,
rushing to their
miserable jobs,
running away from
one crap
into the next
crap
in a crap
circle.

It is not about
death
no more.
It is about
those who don`t
live
no more,
and don`t let
live
anyone else
in peace.

It is about those
who tell you
that you are
wrong
when they are
wrong,
and hate you
when you have the
courage
to do what they
don`t dare.

That could be,
oh yeah,
the real
problem.

WHO DO YOU ASK?

If you pray to
God
asking forgiveness
for your sins,
you should know
you are asking
God
to clean your
mess
instead of dealing
yourself
with it.

Rather,
would not be
better to ask for
forgiveness from
those you have
wronged?

Don`t you think
God
will forgive
your sins
once those you have
wronged
have forgiven
you?

Am just asking...

FREEDOM

How do I know if,
once I try
you,
I won`t want
you
only for one day,
one night?

Oh!
Freedom,
how comes
I never had
you
but I miss
you
so much,
so hard?

Where have
you
been?
Where have
you
gone?

With no
hello,
with no
goodbye...

SURRENDER

Surrender is the weapon
used against you
to accept the
nonsense we live
in.

There is no surrender
in nature;
every creature
fights
for survival
till the last breath,
like the buffalo
bitten by the Komodo dragon
on a sunny island.

Surrender is a mental
state
out of the thought
that there is no
other
way.

There is a way
if you look for it
until you
make it happen.

So
start
moving.

WHO AM I?

I have been given a name
a nationality, a passport
and a few memories.
I have been given a vague idea of where
should I go and
what should I do.
I have been given a light notion
of yesterday, of a moment ago,
while the now slips
away
while later never comes,
and always comes.
I have been told I have an unique soul,
and a body that will rot
one day or another
once the final show
is over.

That's all I got,
a dream given to me
so I forget
I do not matter
nor exist.
Neither do you.
