The screaming of an ant
To
walk throw the wet grass hearing the voice of the earth and the voice
of the sky, uniting you with the universe, but remaining yourself. The
world means variety: different cultures, different religions, different
races, all reunited under an only name: humanity. It is tried the
promoting of a culture of peace and universal peace, but this feeling
it's being stopped by some mentalities and prejudices. We live in a
world of hate, a selfish world, a world that's always in a hurry, a
world in which harmony is completely lacking. Day by day we see bare,
lifeless eyes with no soul glitter behind them, looks starving for
money and power…
Daily we stomp on sensitive people enlightened
minds… The human kind is heading to the abyss … Souls die, vanish… The
voice of humanity is like the screaming of an ant. Exactly like in the
earliest beginnings of the world there is a fight for survival, for
supremacy. The soul ended up with the
last place and drops of life
flow in nothingness. Time is running and we don’t care. We live long
shallow lives. Feelings are for sale, art started to slowly disappear
and the upraising soul is agonizing. We use death as a weapon that is
available to anyone and wars became a toy in the hands of power…
“Quo
vadis...?” this should be the question. It would be impossible to
answer it. Would we know ever again to complete harmony? Humanity will
ever again close itself in a ring, or it will form a chain of love?
Love means life; from it everything else takes birth… That’s why we
should learn
love one another and in a while we should go away
from our computers and wash our eyelashes with the dew drops on a leaf
from which the life vibrates.
