HUMANITY

HUMANITY
.
I see the world
Not the endless thought beyond
Not the memories of the fallen ones
Nor the sulking of unending pain
.

I see the society
Not the taste of their fragrant scent
Nor the false smile which comes out of their deepest fear
Nor the tales which swept under their lies
Nor the sweet tears in their very own eyes
.

I see the world
Full of unending tales
Which carries along the mystical game
Not even their despair and their way
But their wickedness till this day
.

I see the world
Not the little loin cloth called flag
Nor the arrows which taste their blood
Nor the pressures of making it all
Vanitas vanitatum omnia vanitas
.

I see the world
Little smiles that never end
Many heals but never well
Thousands speak and never heard
And hope lost in their torrent of rain
.

I see the world
Full of mystery after twilight
Bright like the stars which are very far
Gentle like dove which never hurts
And the air with her noble cause
.

I see nations and their humankind
Taking the Trust that is never found
Many relax and never angst
And in the end, it comes ravaging like the firestorm.
