Many countries prepared for nuclear war,
To be the most powerful country,
Accumulating weapons,
Finding life in space,
Building robots and latest gadgets,
Health Care took a back seat,
All the time God  was observing our drama,
Against all these he sent a tiny virus,
Checkmate,
THE LAST LAUGH.

Run and jump
Take off
And see where it leads
You're made for more
Than what's below
You are made for love
It's time to take flight
Soar with wings
Like you only live once
Don't be afraid
To soar above
On the wings of love
Across electric blue
Soar
On the wings of love
Maybe a bit idealistic
Trying to be uplifting
Always choose love
Over hate and bitterness
When butterflies fall in love, do they feel humans in their stomach?
i took the morning train today.
hushed city streets and
sweater-grey skies,
clouds like milk in coffee.
a flurry of wings, silent strangers,
heads down, umbrellas up,
sunshine dreams and briefcases.

i took the morning train today.
left the city behind me,
grey walls and grey pavement
and grey concrete skies.
red buses, black taxis,
camera clicks and glinting lenses,
crumbling walls and lost tourists.

i took the morning train today.
watched as the city fell away
behind the horizon,
rain drumming on the glass.
somewhere, birdsong
and the glint of blue skies
beckons me home.
