here is something I wrote when insomnia didn’t leave me be one rainy night.
Dear God,
if the believers are right,
how come you always leave me
sleepless at night?
didn’t you mean
the best for your kind?
then why do people
have death on their mind?
the more that we breathe
the more it is harder,
to run long distance,
to want to go farther.
there is no such thing
as life without limits
when the clock on the wrist
shows us the minutes.
when we go under the sea
and we suddenly drown
because we wanted to reach
whatever lived down.
when we wanted to explore
beyond Earth’s curves
but we never gave the universe
the closure it deserves.
when your creations
sacrificed in war
you just sat back
and watched blood pour.
you let them hang,
shoot, cut their skin
then disowned them
for committing a sin.
you created different
but where is the equality?
everyone is judged
by color and sexuality.
people hate people
when love does exist.
stretched up in the air
is where I hold my fist.
wherever there is chaos-
there is also harmony.
only one is present...
what an irony.
how does one want to live
in a world of your design?
can’t you for once answer?
Lord, give me a sign!
The dinosaurs are gone
but so you seem too...
if you’re even there
I just wish I knew...
