We're supposed to be birds,
But not in a cage...
We can't just stick in a place,
Forever without seeing the world:
It's big!
Bigger than space, bigger than time,
Bigger than any poem could rime!
Let's go, get out and fly, be the blowing wind,
Together...
Let's take our hands, look each other's eyes,
With a smile in our lips, we'll go into the skies,
Free like a leaf, uncoursed by time.
Just go out... to where, do you know?
Everywhere, to freedom we'll bind.
Let's fly to the deepest bottom,
Of the deepest seas of life,
With fish, and clams, and floating blurs of cotton.
But not in our lifetime whole,
Could we peek in every ocean hole,
Could we look at every fish that swims,
And looks upon us in misterious symmetry.
Let's go, with an unwanted impulse,
Let's swim out the seas of liberty!
Let's go dry our water in the yellow beds of sun,
Feel the star shine each other, in our lightfull bodies of salt.
Together let's walk the sands, in a neverending nothing...
Find the beauty of the lack of life,
Wherever we find one,
And with a worshipping gaze,
Behold the splender of being, lost where no one else is,
In a white-filled big blank world of bright yellow loneliness...
Let's go drive through the green!
Through the unspoiled land of the wild livings.
Forever could we stay here watching the giraffes and the elephants,
And the groaming roar of the fuzzy lions, running free with their cubs...
Seeing the black and white striped zebras,
Drinking where the hippos do their swimmings.
Let's go out of this hot, into the cold,
Where the unfrozen penguins liquifly!
There is frozen beauty unexplored,
Down in the deep of the bottom of our little world.
But up up and away we go, to the birth of civilization,
Search for the lost treasures in the mountains of gold,
Under every rock, that for long has there stood!
Explore the lost cities, imagine how it was!
A trip to the past, learning with the ancient ones.
But although we look and seek for answers...
Our mind is filled with just products of our imagination.
Let's go now to the paradise of nature,
To the mother in its real form, sound, and smell!
We'll wander around in zig-zagged trails,
Underneath monkeys grizzling, squeeking, and waggling, hung by their tails...
A place where our look is harmonious with the about.
We see beauty in everything,Even the evil serpents, and monstrous spiders,
The unknown insects with seizurous fangs,
And the mammals that stare down upon us in doubt,
Or the birds that drill the trees with large bangs!
So much to see, so many places to be!
Our life lives in jail, no freedom to be free...
If only we could leave our bodies behind,
Be just our souls, our senses, our love, hate, and fears!
Free our minds from their malific destiny!
Be what we want, go where we want, do what we want!
That's how life should be...
We don't live, we dwell in time...
Suffer the needs of leaving this world,
Fearing the day we actually depart,
With no reason to feel that, for when it comes you won't even know...
Let's live together... forever...
Get out of here... forever...
Let's go...
Forever.
