Different
jammed patterns
incapacity to show respect
appreciation fouled up
by fear of neglect and
lack of chance to practice
the traditions one knows
groups enforcing powers
to prevail as the strongest
while others are avoided
the struggle is hardening
as borders strongly fade
questions build up high
the bows are uptight
plans for a future lost
and reflections filled
with grief and costs
how different would this have flown
if voices would be added without fear
for an alienation of the life known
now let’s keep hoping
there will be a final refrain
in which new is considered
additive and openness remains
