Intellectual Revolution

 

The world goes mad

not for the first time

it has always been sad

so full of sorrows and crime

not only for the lower classes

as well for the giants and mightiest in chief,

for the lonely ones and the crowded masses

and so among the dirtiest like the tidiest in believe.

It's a strange thing living like slaves

not knowing, not feeling it, not asking: Why?

Instead always keeping on digging countless own graves

seeing the worldwide poverty, but being too shy to cry.

Even more, playing the cards of this tragedy

not really looking behind the curtains where the reasons are

so clear as definite, it is just banality

as we all are pretenders not going as far

to recognize that our lifestyle is the exploiter of the others.

We follow the priests, the preachers, the propagandists of state,

betraying us, our present and future, but no one bothers:

´Don't worry, be happy!´ We're on the sunny side,

love our dependence on money, defending “freedom” with arsenals of weapons

which we use and sell everywhere.

No enlightenment of mankind ever happens

until there once will be no echo on the question: Are you still there?

Conclusion?

It is evolution, because we've missed in it an intellectual but peaceful revolution.
