Our mind and ego is blind
Towards the feelings of the spirit
Our desires rise immeasurably
Forgetting the welfare of others

We come first
Only then the others
We fight wars
In our thoughts, actions.

We want more and more
Do not see the need of others
Equality in the distance
And yet we are humans

Let us make peace
First peace with ourselves
And take care of us
Sharing with compassion

Let us polish
Our dull hearts
That they learn to understand:
Humanity and how to love

Time for Self-Introspection

Many questions come
Addressed to ourselves:
How has my life been so far?
What have I done wrong?
What can I improve in the future?

So much dirt in my thoughts
Garbage in words and deeds
Pyramid top of a now and here
Time to take stock
Who I was, who I am

How many people have I hurt
Including myself?
In the hamster wheel of equal deeds
Bad habits?
Shame on myself

Every thought, every word, every action
Has a heavyweight
When they hurt
It’s banging against the walls
Of one’s own heart

The scale shows
Where we stand
Honesty and confession may help
To cleanse us from dirt
To become a better person…

Time to bring about the change in us…
