66.

 

Humans have open eyes and close minds.

They hate things they can not understand.

Humans break the hands

that are holding them.

Humans cut their own flesh

and make hell out of paradise.

Humans

oh shortsighted humans.

 

 

67.

 

Jesus said he is the one

and they crucified him.

Leonardo said we can fly

and they all laughed.

Galileo said the world is round

and they forced him to recant

but today and forever

Jesus is the king

planes are everywhere

and even a child knows

that the world is round.

 

 

68.

 

Shadows are at large.

Open your chests.

Let's clean the mirror of our inside.

and reflect the sunshine

all together

to evaporate shadows.

 

 

69.

 

I am condemned to sail

dusks and downs

of this world

till my wings

are finally grown.

 

 

70.

 

They brought him

old and wise

glued to wheelchair

wounded and humiliated

with no forward or return

waiting for the end.
