Freedom

 

Freedom,

A word

Who has all the meaning of...

This is happiness

This is harmony

This is respect

 

But what we do

Humans are killing humans

Humans are manipulating humans

 

Freedom,

A game between two birds without wings

 

Freedom,

A hope because two hungry stomachs

 

Freedom,

Elefteria

A sun waiting to rise.....

 

In our days

In our century

 

We are in need of second educational system

Re write new words

Or learn the meaning of the old one

 

Women

 

I was wondering if I am free?

Do u feel free?

No

Every day I walk in a street of possibilities

And opportunities…

But nobody looks at me

As I am a woman…

It is unspeakable how much a woman is used…

From day one

A woman needed to educate the child

To cook for a child

To train him how to think… Speak…

Act…

A lot for a woman to do

But what happens after…

A woman needs

A woman wishes

A woman’s word

Inexistant person

Until one day

U will look at the mirror

U see your face

U will see your heart

U will see your body

And u will not recognize it

Because u will be so used

Used from the rejection

Used from the loneliness

Used from the fake people

Used from the bad decisions

Without faith!!!
