Analysis of Food for thought



Freedom seems so easy
democracy says it all
but words are not enough
to make it really work

to stay obedient so
no one will lose

But how did it happen
that big differences
between rich and poor
became such a common thing?

But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen than you have something very special. - Nelson Mandela - ******************************** I am from the land of tulips and mills. Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
