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!!

Reviews

[Catrinka]

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!

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

Wonderfully written addition. Powerful write.

[Kasey Klein]

Hey Nico

Thanks for the invite.

Eliot?

[No One Important]

This much better than the last...it flows around like a silver stream painting a picture both bleak and promising...well done

[Kevin Andros]

Nice peice. Keep writing. ~KA~

[Lori]

This is the age old problem -- history is always repeating itself. It's as if humans are incapable of learning as a society.

[Nely Amorim]

great work lots of depth

[George Love]

Interesting, captivating and well written.

[Rhiannon Dragonraine]

Not too sure how i feel about this one...it seems somewhat vague and overly abstract, if there was a story line it somehow got lost in the lines of this installation. The message that you send is good however it feels as if we are looking at photographs with no idea who the people are or what their relevance is to us. I guess what I am saying is that the context seems to have gotten lost somwhere along the way; though the strong message remained.

It seems like this guy is isolating himself from society.

"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" '

I'll be honest: that entire stanza gave me dirty thoughts... Anyways, thanks for sharing this. Like your first one, it got me thinking of, yet again, society and all of the problems with it. ;) Great job!

Ironically Yours, Blade and Blood

I liked that pic a lot :D

Nice write I must say, very well penned with beautiful flow and nice spontaneity.
I liked the emotions behind this write a lot :)
I agree with Lucinda that Many people here are really afraid to know themselves, and to spend time with just their own company ..with their own conscience..
But actually If we really wanna know anyone on this planet, then first we gotta knew ourselves!
great write :)
