Our childhood

No comment!

We work hard
We Go to schools studying
We build strong walls
Buy nice shoes
Ride big cars
We write good reports
Wear nice clothes
Buy the best chewing gum
We use our calenders to arrange our schedule, trying not to get behind

We Spend too much
Pretending too much
Pretending we are doing well
Pretending we are kind
Pretending to have humanitarian beliefs
Pretending to have philanthropic ideas

We pretend too well
Even ourselves forget about our pretensions
Captivating ourselves in our own-made prisons
And looking for good material to strengthen our prisons
We avoid looking around as we used to in childhood

We've forgotten our childhood dreams
Once used to love and care for a toy bear
"But now we're mature!"
"We deserve this life"
"Toys are not worth to care anymore."
"Too many people are hungry? So what? They are used to."

We have got much more than enough
But still hesitate to pass it to others

Let's set ourselves free!
We have become too stingy...
We have lowered our souls
Shortsightness has become our habit
We are no longer similar to our childhood heros
Drifted too far
Far away from our dreams

Let's dress up
And make up our minds
Working to make a world similar to our "used to be" dreams
Time to start from our own
Spreading to the world
Let's share our hearts and our everything
To heal the world
To make a world full of love and peace
Full of equity and dignity
And free from luxury and hunger!
