Johnny Head-in-Air

I am firmly tied to the ground

Above me clouds

Beyond Cloudia the sky has no bounds

and the sunshine will dispel my doubts

– inspired by the German story of Heinrich Hoffmann: Hanns Guck-in-die-Luft

Ruined world


			

heart:break

Intelligence, logic, prowess,

knowledge, power, money

With these indisputable facts

our answer to violence is more violence?

Actions without heart blindly fulfill the ‘devils’ plan

Man failing dismally!

Never questioning, just worsening all of it

Where are the voices of the sages?

Humanity, – thou has totally lost thy way.

Then after

After the great 21st century annihilation

all of humanity finally evolved

Magnanimity, generosity and compassion emerged

5000 year old stories remained stories only

The present and life were too precious

Anchors in the past lost their hold

Survivors only remembered the insanity

and the names and pictures in the hall of shame

(un)bonded

In my mind

when I zoom out from our planet

I see the beautiful blue Earth

I feel love

I adore her

I am bonded

Alas,

as I zoom in

the indescribable happens:

love becomes wars

beauty wanes for ugly

adoration becomes desperation

I run away instead of feeling close
