Did you know
that the closeness of a human
can fix health
or sicken
or kill and bring back to life
did you know
that the closeness of a human
can do things good or bad
sad or glad
did you know
that a stay off of a human
can lead to death
that a coming of a human
leads to life again
did you know
that the voice of a human
helps another human
to listen again
who once had become deaf
did you know
that the word
or the conduct of a human
can make someone seeing
who was blind once
who didn´t see anything
no sense in this world
and in his life
did you know
that having time for a human
is more than money
more than drugs
more than a brilliant surgery
did you know
that listening to a human
creates wonders
that goodwill bears interest
that an advance of trust
will come back hundredfold
did you know
that doing is more than talking
did you know all this
did you also know
that the way from knowing via talking
to doing
is interplanetarily wide?
No, you don´t know
you vomit myriads of words instead
you support a hyper inflation of words
and your words are not even intelligent.
You call for awakening -
shame on you, shadow beings!
It seems
your supposed love to humans
comes from your envy
not to be human.
Did you know
that constraint is not a curse
and limits are not bad at all
no you don´t
you beings of fortune!
I believe
you are not honest
and never have been
I would be delighted
to see you keeping silent
at least this would be
a deep sign of respect
toward us humans.
And when time allows
then we will speak
close and as friends...
