stop go

stopgo_apr15

Stop – go, walk here – drive there
All action basically for survival
We learn how to pray
But is this used to have faith or to prepare for war?
We go to war
And appreciate that we can practice a new language
And when the war ends
We are happy to hear politicians say:
You have the potential
Provided that you can carry the heavy load
We go to work
And the central motive of control
Is to make us feel pathetic

We go thru life
With our antennas bouncing one another
But what do we hear?
People usually do not expect from listening
To be more than listening
People rarely consider
Moral contact in an artist’s life
People think that good technology
Can be somewhat immortal
But can it be equipped with
The entire spectrum of emotions?
We need to focus on the real things
The things that matter
