It was (a #poem)

I envy the wind 
that ruffles her hair 
in the shadow of the End Times 
nothing can change my mood 
when she's in the same room 
keeping my heart warm 
and the fire burning 
in the cabin 
we called love or life

Remembering the days 
we used to pretend 
all was good 
and therefore
it was

Would you like the future?

Remember kids: how we act today, impacts the future. Or - as said by someone obviously very wise - "If you want an apple tree, plant an apple seed". 

So, if you don't want a grim future for your (grand)children: what are you doing today that will prevent it?


Or maybe - like most people - you don't really care about what happens to future generations and are quite comfortable, as long as you can have your luxuries. Like being able to choose what you want to eat.

Are you okay with being part of a system that will inevitably lead to disaster for the planet and most people and other animals or are you willing to put some effort in to change said system?

Put differently: are you a blind sheep or able to think for yourself?

More and more people turn away from consumerism and are trying to live 'off the grid'. For over 30,000 years humankind survived without money. So those who claim that we can't are either deceived or simply lying. It's really stupid to think we can rob Mother Nature of her resources without any consequences. But I am glad people are starting to notice floodings, droughts, failed harvests... and even at the recent climate change summit several governments admitted those environmental disasters are mainly caused by (fossil fuels) industry and things need to change drastically if we want a future for our grandchildren. 

Do you want a future for our grandchildren or are you selfish?

Hope (a #poem)

Even before they got introduced, 
he knew her name. 
Because of the way her eyes lit up
if she thought of something funny. 

Because of her smile 
if someone thanked her 
and because of 
the warmth she radiated 
to anyone fortunate enough 
to be in the same room 

He called her Hope
