Lost gaze in a virtual world

People forget reality,
real contact with each other.
Their gaze is riveted,
spellbound on a device
that pretends to be real.

People lose themselves
in virtual spaces, dreams.
The device sucks their feelings,
reflects them in electronic mirrors.
Thoughts deepen in it,
the real world is forgotten,
sinks into fantasy.

People sit next to each other,
ignore each other,
take refuge in another world
do not recognise each other,
Their focus stranded,
trapped in their mobile phones…

Glorification of violence

From an early age
the child is taught violence and hatred,
the battle between good and evil.

Children play at being the good guys
and let off steam in violent games.
Enemy images are instilled,
reality is swapped for virtuality,
until virtuality becomes reality.

People create their own war games,
searching for opponents, enemies
to measure themselves against them,
to reap imaginary rewards.

Films, full of violence and hatefulness
are inculcated into minds and hearts
to make people blind,
clouding their minds.

Humanity needs new ideals,
where love and respect reign,
respect for life,
Providing help instead of promoting violence.

Oneness in the One
Is the answer,
for peace on earth
as the unity of man.

One mankind,
One planet,
One Love.
