The Post War Dream

 - You first

- No, you first!

- Please! I insist!

- Ok... I appreciate your kindness...

- It's my honor!


Some things are unforgetable

The first love

The first kiss

The soccer team celebrating like it shouldn't

Friends laughing till it hurts

The first rifle

The first killing

The first death

The first moment of realization that everything will be forgotten

And others will be forgotten too

Like a necessity of formality

Like a routine

Like a shake of hands


- You improvise your speeches all the time?

- No! No at all! Although it's fantastic that it sounds like this. I'm always studying the impact of words on the masses, my guys are always testing them for me and when I get enough data I choose my phrases and cash the success. And you, you sound like you have all planned...

- Not as you think. Although I'm always reflecting about what I should say I'm always paying attention to the ones I'm going to talk, you see... What they want to listen they show through their eyes... So when I talk I'm just giving back the words they wanted to hear.


- We have a lot to learn from each other!

- Indeed my friend, indeed!

Many faiths are being called by the believers

But the only temple built is to Death

Peace in the afterlife

War on Earth 

Lie after lie

Rebirth

How profitable must be peace so humanity can change business?


- You're the Rocket Man!

- No! You're the Rocket Man!

- Seriously, admit that...

- I do admit that you're the  Rocket Man!

- And it's going to be a long long time!

- AHAHAHAHAHA!


They were sent to embody peace

But in this field

A brain can't think of peace

The mouth can't speak of it

The hand can't reach another

It's the non-language

No difference, nothing in common

No translating

No mistery, no knowledge

Only disappearance

Dust in the wind

History not present becoming past

Humanity not present becoming ghost

Angels and Demons stopped their war

There're no souls to fight for

What's life?

It was somewhere here

There were people dancing and smiling


I

Remember love  

Remember when we were like music drifting through the night  

When the wind joined our embrace

Grace in tomorrow smile

Our secrets hidden in everyday

Giving us abundance of time

Even when we're running


The walls ahead

You walked through them

Because they were only shadows after all 

Faith isn't lack of sight

It's commitment to seeing more and better

Because you didn't give up what the seed could be

And here you and me


Love is never lost

Because love is searching

Being alone is the absence of longing

Being lost isn't not having a way but not believing in it

And even when we are apart

We're dreamers that are always together


Say today

There's beauty in life,    

There's joy to be found or to be invented

There's reason to believe and if there's not

Go beautifully crazy!


You can move forward whether you can forget the past or not

You can start your journey if you choose to learn instead of waiting for the wisdom

It will come in your way

So make it yours  


Can I somehow make you see?  

Despite the pain and silence  

The seed is still there

You haven't seen it all

You can still grow


II

Where life hope sings softly through the lights of the night

A child dreams  

not of conquest, not of fear 

but of laughter  

and what the clouds of tomorrow will be playing 


III

War is surrendering humanity to fear

And for fear we hide in battlefields

And pretend we can't understand each other

Surrender your fear

Face the truth

Peace depends on you looking at me

And me looking at you 

Instead of sending machines to write silence and death

If we stop wanting hell on each other

We can stop apocalypse now


IV

Before you go

There’s more to life than what we know

But to learn it we need to rise from the dead

And put an end to this war

  

Every second of peace counts

Even on the war fields  

It can remind there's still time

To stop being a machine in a danceless eternity

So we can breathe humanity and a new age


Beyond the conflict the real fight for life starts  


You were a weapon

Now be free
