STARTING FROM MYSELF



I'm not looking everywhere now. - Muff is bad because it can't do anything else, and little kings drive around in Ferraris V.I.P. party queens. Teenage girls give birth to premature babies who are left in incubator cages on purpose, because they themselves are egg-bottomed children!

Now I would like to send a message to those who are still listening and who have declared themselves to be my eternal Friends: Do something Noble, Good in this tumultuous, liar-two-faced World, where the stronger would still trample the ant-pearl. And no one asks the hermits who raised the shell-solitude anymore: "Old father! Do you need anything?!

It's no use looking everywhere now, because the manipulative propaganda play continues outside, and drunken, party-hooligan barons make fun of the night, when the simple, hard-working worker has long since retired, because the sober robot would call again the next day. Drunk little fish unfold new fins and wings to their heart's content, while the Sharks devour each other!

Today, they would say a soft, romantic sigh: My dear, you will hold my hand, won't you, when the shadows call to me, and you won't leave me alone?! Its fluttering golden curls are flaring all over the bubbly, ripe Autumn, and the whispering instincts of the Spirit come out as losers in a cat-and-mouse perpatvar battle.
