The rage-up close and into space

Part I

I hear

not see

the angry crowds

of protesters

burning flags

stoning sacred

places

of

others.

It's never about this

or that

never about anything

but

the reason for rage:

 a deep discontent,

a lack of harmony

a lack of love

in the lives

of those

who rage

and want to destroy

what represents

the other.

If you are happy

with yourself

you do not see

in the mirror

hate

but what the world

reflects back

is what you are.

if you are full of hate

you see just that.

Part II:

The swiss policemen

coming to restrain

a man in rage

he has excuses

for his rage:

his wife did not

buy him head ache pills.

He has a reason for

his rage towards

his children

they do not behave well

at the table

but the reason for his

rage is that the world

reflects back

what he gives the world

the hate

the discontent

the loneliness

of the unloved

who can not love

but hate

comes naturally

and thus his

rage.

Part III.

Politically speaking

there is always someone

who is the reason for the rage

a caricature

after so many caricatures

of others

published in the official newspapers

but one

caricature against the holy of the holy¨

and there is rage.

It is alright to deface

to mock the other's culture

and to burn other flags

and burn other homes

but the universal rule

according to which

 you get what

you put into this world

and the small abused

unloved child

is in rage:

that can not be!

It is a power struggle

the people who are used

to behead

mutilate

execute

will not accept

a slap in the face.

part IV

I want to say:

stop the world

i want to get off!

have wanted for years

to get off this overpopulated

planet

and find a place of peace

somewhere in space

but it seems there is

no life on the moon

and i love the deep oceans

and their colorful fish

despite the sharks

as well as trees and birds

and woods

and dogs

and even

cats

on a  good day

and the children

that take so much

and make of lumps of clay

human beings

with soul.

and yes,

the hope one day

the rage will be gone

and in its place

another king will rule:

the impossibilty of human love

may be possible

one day

as we send into the universe

seeds of  love.

but final  remaining question

for tonight:

 how can you give love

if you don't get it

at home?

How can a creator

have abandoned

the children

to search for love

in the desert?

The mysteries of the universe

will remain

as such 

and meanwhile

the scream of the figure  

crossing the bridge

will remain silent

to those who will not hear.
