about

In between concrete walls and shadows of dust
Dreams grow, lost;
You can't see the end of a Labyrinth
That spreads larger and larger;
The outcry of voices
Gets more and more futile.
And more and more flowers
Decay in the mud.
The Sun won't throw light on a subject,
Which is serious and important
To a generation that doesn't care,
But only wants to possess
More,
And more,
And still more...
What might follow?
Who might know?
————————
The mountain has sunk,
The hill-side has gone bare,
Junk heaps raise in the valley,
And forest trails, asphalted,
See carcasses of animals -
Hit by cars -
Laying scattered around.
Has it been any different?
And will it ever be?
—————————
The trees, the forest, all wild beasts
Is what I totally admire,
Yet from a distance,
Burrowed in the quasi-safety
Of my little box...The cell in the beehive I inhabit will be cozy and comfortable, until the skin of our planet starts moving under our feet, the way a horse's skin starts shuddering to ward off insects in the heat.
The river is still beautiful, but its water is clear at its spring alone, sometimes, not even there.
It flows into the sea as if relieved and eager to sink inside and hit its very bottom, trying to escape from the constant torture of the allegedly wise human beings, burdened by information that they can never put up with.
Thoughts, fantasies, dreams,
They all lead back to Nature...
———————————
The human nature produces human nature...
It produces human nature...
It produces nature...
It produces our nature...
It produces our nature...
Nature...
Nature...
