⚜️ MY POETRY #1 ⚜️ - 🦋 COCOON 🦋 /poetry & performance painting/

Times of aggression, propaganda,
Gmo’s and processed food,
toxic air and fake news.

In this era of confusion,
and informational flood
a commitment is treated as
a one-night stand blues.

Stuck in a corner,
lost in the net,
behavior status: I want to go back!
Back to those roots,
to the simple things,
the word of a promise,
the honest shake of a hand,
the friends not in a hurry,
the long summers
on that wild beach
full of sand.

Oh memory, how could I please you?
How could we trade the present with past?
The brain is a cheater,
illusions collector
in a fragile glass.

Let me get lost
in the forest of dreams,
be fearless of sorrow,
lost battles, excuses and grief.
The ego’s dimensions
are scratched by the fact,
that you have decided not to look back.

Let us break the cocoon of greed.
The essence of humans
is invisible and free.
