Life, death, the dilemma
_____
Breath, the Spirit of Man
His relationship to himself
The forces that keep him up
_____
The forces that once drove him
_____
To plants and the smaller realm
_____
His struggle to fit in there
_____
His wishes nobody can satisfy
_____
That endless quest for happiness
_____
That need to look elsewhere
_____
When inner depth
_____
Limits and limitations
_____
Straight, square, neatly lined up
_____
Sales, clear-outs
_____
End up leading to inaction
_____
I still have loads of questions
_____
No, gentlemen, questions
_____
Don't deserve objections
_____
Who's brave enough to quit
_____
Behind their own projections
_____
Can you tell unknown from absence
_____
If you shut your five senses
Do you see the difference
Between waiting and patience
And between lack of daring
_____
Can you perceive
_____
Behind appearances
_____
Between unease and shortage
_____
And listen to intuition
_____
Not to take on a truth
_____
That deep inside has no meaning for you
What are you so scared of
_____
And passions full of rancor
Even against the majority
_____
Can you shape your own ideas
_____
Without ever trapping yourself in them
_____
And while hearing the other
_____
Rather than what splits us
_____
When we’re wondering
_____
The animal or the man
What do you identify with
_____
Do you see there are as many paths
_____
All rays lead to the sun
_____
And comparing them would be too dumb
_____
Light is one and indivisible
_____
Why’s talking unity so hard
_____
Who gains when everybody splits
_____
Politics ever more tasteless
_____
Violent and endless
_____
Often with media as their base
_____
When the choices are tiny
_____
Hesitating between plague and cholera!
_____
Knowing both play
_____
The shadiest schemes
_____
That you know the tree
_____
Are you that sure you’ll dive in body and soul
_____
Even with a heart on the verge of tears
_____
Do you see the greatness of the humble
_____
The storm passes, the city dies
_____
But the blade of grass is still there!
