Before Time

Story

The early days on earth are as present as if it was just the other day

Life was simple; one was either predator or prey

No matter if you were a lion or a gazelle under the early morning sun

All you had to do was get up and run

While one was running to catch a decent roast

The other one was running to avoid becoming toast

Now, a thousand lifetimes later in history

We are still living mentally in the same vicinity

We all pretend to be predators; ‘it is just human’ humans say

At some point we all end up as prey

Since both, the predator and prey have to run

Nothing has changed since those days under the early morning sun

And busy running is what we still do, no matter in which direction

It has nothing to do with personal affection

We all want to achieve goals just in time

We run for it following a straight line

Since a straight line into infinity becomes a circle eventually

We improved our skills in running circles gradually

Nevertheless, if we achieve the goal things can turn sour

When we realize this goal was not ours

We should take our time to assess where we are and where to we want to run

Knowing what we really want would make the difference under the early morning sun
