Breath of Life
Why is there a lie?
Uncertainty, betrayal, pain, falsehood,
disbelief and disillusionment?
Why is there evil? This evil that surrounds us
Making us live in a world of betrayals,
Tormented by constant restlessness?
The reason for dissatisfaction… leading people to depression.
The reason for the heartache, sadness and longing…
Making us feel unhappy and making us cry.
The reason why our dreams are not fulfilled…
The separation, the disunity, the offense and the grudge.
Why the anger of hurt and why we don’t know how to forgive.
The reason for unfulfilled promises,
Insincerity, ingratitude…
Leaving deep marks in many hearts.
The reason for presumption, pride, discord, disunity,
Making many times suffer,
Those who live alone in their solitude.
These are the feelings that afflict us in our daily lives,
and that often lead us to stop and think… WHY???

WITHOUT YOU IN THE PARK

I WISH I COULD LIVE INTENSELY
Breath of Life I wish I could live intensely, The time lost in the past, The lifeless past time, The time lost in life. I wish I could live intensely, Because time has not given me its time, Because I didn't feel the time in time, Simply... because I didn't have time....
