Where and when it begins we cannot decide
Once served, we are too little to run, neither can we hide
It is served as a set menu
With no menu card for preview
The menu is made of time and place and ancestry, seasoned with a warm welcome or a hot dispute
None of it we have had a hand in or did contribute
For some it will be kind of a wishing well
Others might experience it as hell
It is like a lucky draw
Some are fortunate and some pull the short straw
Everybody is dreaming of a place in the sun
But being born in such a place often means you have to run
It is often astounding how far imagination can be from reality
Just because there are so many things we cannot see
Questioning what is going on makes us understand very soon
There is no dark side of the moon
From our perspective we always see the moon’s same side
Nourishing our assumption darkness would the backside hide
Understanding what we perceive might not always be all embracing true
Take a glass of water, it looks clear, still the oceans appear blue
We have to start with what we are being given
After that itâs motivation and curiosity driven
We decide what to neglect or what to fond
Sometimes it needs a change of perspective to see what lies beyond
We can stay curious and question whether that is true what we see
Or we can say âit is as it is and always was, so let it beâ
The Planet Earth we live on has been given
But the world we build on it is human driven
It might seem good for some but not so good for others
There is enough for all of us, the imbalance it is that bothers
