whispers

We all move through life completely blind,
that is the curse of mankind.

Whispers, voices in my ear made me open my eyes,
and I saw our bad choises, I saw fear, I saw through all the lies.
What a horrific world we live in, a world where everbody dies.

People who has nothing to eat,
people without any rights.
And it all seems to repeat,
people blow out each others lights.

Whispers strip the world from it's scales,
but darkness does not prevail

As my tears have flooded my face,
when I think I have learned the truth about this place.
Somebody let me feel the warmth of an embrace.

I learn that if everybody knew what I know,
they too would see that glow
As I untie these lines of text from my mind,
I understand that, the glow is the hope of mankind...

This was really great... I like that you almost put the same words in the beginning of the text and in the end of the text... It makes it that powerfull...
and ofcourse what the text is all about makes it even stronger...

Great written my friend!!!

"As my tears have flooded my face,
when I think I have learned the truth about this place.
Somebody let me feel the warmth of an embrace."
Some times such small thing as an embrace,
Can be so difficult a thing to come by!
I absolutely agree with you, we need a world much better then we are living in.
But only we can create it, by coming closer to one another by giving and not expecting all the time...
((((hugs dear Peter for a fantsatic text))))
