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!

[maiarusm]

A very well-written and meaningful message to all of Earth's children. If only the wounds of misunderstanding and prejudice was as easy to heal then the world would be a better place for everyone. Great job.

"before one should try

"too many people... always pretend to know everything," certainly do!
still a great story. Look forward to pIII !!

[Lucinda Bogart]

Many people are afraid to know themselves...to spend time with just their own company. Perhaps they are afraid of what they will learn about that person who lives inside their skin, or perhaps they just don't like themselves enough to spend the time.

Baby steps are ok too, though. We can get to know ourselves better by seeing our reflection in the faces of the people who need us when help share their burdens.

I really like this poem! I like how you show how clearly it is for people to change, it's like a old habbit that refuses to die. I have clearly seen this as everyone else has, it's everywhere. It is very hard for people to have an open mind but if they did this world would be so much more peaceful. But, religion holds us back as well as tradition and old thoughts of what's right and wrong. I think it will always be with us, but maybe there will be less in the long future, if there is one.

[Shadows of Sight]

You truly have cast this vision well into our minds eye. People must stop and look within their own hearts for the key to change. The Evil Wind is akin to what i see as drug abuse, Bad politicians and selfish egocenric preachers.

God gave us the key. It's inside all of us! find it! Use it. for it's the only way to unlock the doors to the light with in!

Great Second Part!

This is very good. I have to agree that this one is a little better than the first. You have such depth in it. I love the words you chose. You made a statement. Very good!

well written it seems to be much better than the first one. No not better just evolved

[Albert Freeman]

I like how this has changed and evolved from the first poem. Self searching and looking inward. Having to look within at what has happened and realizing change must first come from within your own awakening while dealing with what has happened around you and what will happen. From the foolishness of a prince turning his back on his people to the birth of a new prince who has the self-realization to look within himself and a world reshaped by the evil wind that came so many years before. Looking forward to part 3.
