Would-be

Jet Rood

If I am in pain
 would you care?
 If I want to die
 do you care?

 It is not so easy
 to stand firm in the force
 of human rules and laws
 which are only looking for

 My capacity for work
 to earn money with useless jobs
 it has nothing do to whatsoever
 with the purpose I'm heading for

 Sometimes I'm jealous
 when a person dies
 because I know that person
  is freed of earthly strife

 I know things will get better
 but life always takes its time
 to unfurl me a lesson
 like renewing the way I live

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…
