Letter to the Future (Part 2 - The Son - The Ultimate Revolution)

the evil winds seem to have died down...but have they?....has anything really changed?......the new born prince is growing up and speaks of what he sees and feels.....time passes but that's about the only thing that changes.....it's a new time.....many ye

 

before one should try
to heal the world
it might be better
to understand each other first
before one should start
scraping the bottom
let's first come up
with a gesture, my friend

 

the prejudices and the idiocy
as always still show up, a little further
there is a general
attack of myopia that
could become blind.

 

I'll be wrong but look around,
look what's there
that's why I've barricaded
myself in this cage,  because there's too much
confusion and too many people
that always pretend to know everything,

even though the blasts of horror before their very eyes

has left our castle crying deep beneath the burned remains

of our once protected walls of serenity and safety,

the metal beams are all that remain.

 

For everyone there's a story
that doesn't work out
and if everybody is right
who's ever gonna be the guilty one?

Yep...blame it on that evil wind,

it's the easy way out.

 

it's already a start
when you are here
and to know to whom
you can talk,

fortunately you are someone
who can also listen - hear my cries

of pain and desperation....stop for a "single moment".....

Don't be afraid of my hand.

 

"The ultimate revolution"

 

if you're still the friend
you've always been
what do you think then
about trying to grab hold of my crippled hand

and to try and become
"better friends"

 

before one should try
to heal the world
it might be better to
understand each other first
before one should try to
measure the world
it might be better to
change ourselves first,

hands held tight we move forward

to face the fire and evil winds

set before us.

 

it might be the ultimate
revolution that everyone
should live inside oneself,

My hand is there, to try and change all that,

I too am in need

of finding my way out of

"this cage I live in".

 

The ultimate revolution lies ahead of us.........








 

Author's Note

the evil winds seem to have died down...but have they?....has anything really changed?......the new born prince is growing up and speaks of what he sees and feels.....time passes but that's about the only thing that changes.....it's a new time.....many years have gone by.....and still the evil wind in some of us never dies....the names change but the mistakes which we create ourselves keep repeating......despite our cries for change, for harmony, for peace!!!!......working on Part 3 to be released in the near future!!

Well written piece - improvement in our world needs to start with self-improvement. What your writing says to me is let's try to understand and accept each other's differences rather than to change the world to our own narrow vision of what is right. Nice job here - KUDOS! I especially liked the last stanza - well done!

[Where the night sky and..]

I must say I think this prince view is very entertaining.
Personally love the comment of having to blame the wind, it seems so dark and humorous~

[Prose-full]

there's a beautiful Power in this piece..brilliantly moving with truth and plea of harmony..


"For everyone there's a story
that doesn't work out"----love it!

"[and if everybody is right]
who's ever gonna be the guilty one?"--amazing

"I too am in need
of finding my way out of
"this cage I live in"." so brilliant, so true...I'm there too, Nico


"The ultimate revolution lies ahead of us"--yes it does...lovely piece...lovely

[Chirpy!]

You are a great poet. Your poem really touched me!
If anyone says differently...let me know. I will destroy them.

[Sheri]

I noticed how some comments mention how different this writing is with the word phrase compared to the first, but I think it's better that way. I mean, you yourself explained how this is the voice of the new born prince, so it only makes sense that the writing is a little different, especially with the generation change. Keep up the good work and I'll be looking for the 3'rd and final part!

[Mystic Dreams]

Such a totally different voice...and SO well written! Words of hope through all the 'evil winds'. A call to unite in peace for a better world. The way you have written this feels, somehow, industrial - wasn't a big fan of the industrial revolution...perhaps this one might be gentler.

Great read

Hugs, Mystic

[James Horsley]

Brilliant expansion on part one. It's a tried and true theme, and you tell the story well.
Also, the similarities to Poe seem to have ended in part one. =)
Well done. Hope to see the finished product soon.

[Richard McLin]

Damn good follow up to your previous entry. You have a real feel for this work, and I can tell this is a project that means a lot to you with all the care you have put into it. Great job.


Richard.

p.s look forward to part 3.

[Arlene Fleisher]

Very thought-provoking! Well done! Thanks for sharing this with me. :)

(by the way... forgot to add... LOVED the pic on pt. 1)

[Spoken]

People don't listen to words of advice we learn best from our own mistakes than the mistakes of others.. no one ever thinks it'll happen to them. That's the single reason we are forever stuck in a repeatitive cycle where history becomes our here and now... i fear the worst for our future, but hope for the best! Great piece!

[Tomás Ó C..]

Awesome poem... loved the graphic!!!
