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!

the ultimate revolution perhaps it's neverending... well, never-ending as long as humans are involved. Change has been needed for to long... unfortunately we can't seem to "get together" and make the changes needed. Protesting... it's just causing troubles this week while at the same time some good ideas are being discussed but, most likely those ideas for change will be squashed as well, just postponine advancement once again.

This is a fine, emotional write! Thanks for posting your thoughts to share.

If only. Nice job, friend.

So many images in this piece it's almost overwhelming. You force the narrators emotions and confusion on the reader and make all the evils and wrongdoings in the world become poignant. Another great piece to go with the first!

There's so much going in the world, so many images, so many impressions, so much hatred, so many prejudices. We're being overwhelmed by bad news, we are becoming afraid of what we see in the media, so either we are sucked in by the news and go along with the hatred being spread, whatever our nationality, ethnicity or religion may be. Every citizen of the world is in danger of being provoked and to be sucked into hatred. Some people go along with the hatred, some hide in a cage, yet only the truely brave keep reaching out.
My congratulations for writing this piece!

Very powerful and so true. If only all of us in this world would see that it just takes small changes - the task of loving one another would not seem daunting at all. It would just be accomplished automatically.
The dark imagery, the words you weave, evoking feelings, are just so excellent.

[Sally Edwards]

Great read, very interesting and thought provoking, smooth read, very powerful too, looking forward to the next part

[Erin Phoenix]

I like it very much.

I can feel your passion and it made me smile once I read it.

I love your work that makes me think.

:) Good job Nico!

The power of one...it all starts with one...to take on the world is futile...but to assist just one...much can be achieved. Powerful write Nico.
