Trend mongers
Jumping on a speeding train leading
to the abyss of empty souls

Buy an image
waste of energy for the ego driven body

Sympathize
and let the others judgements mold you

Be what your mirrors wish you to

But why should anyone want to lead such an existence?

Our human heritage cries for a direction
A pourpose

An horizon where our sun
will shine for every one who extends their hands to it.

A heart that needs not to be reminded that it lives
Feet that know they are part of the roots of origin

not an image of success
or a circualr life that goes around the same inanae center while it lasts.

The god of vanity has almost won
lets learn once again what it is to be a man.
