Justice and peace

not me

carries

the cross

the cross

carries

 

me

 

(is) hard and

inappropriate

I

lie nevertheless

down

on it

 

do not see

the cross

 

see that

what does

not

exist

 

abstract values

facing the heaven

 

unattainable just

like it

 

nothing what mankind

can

maybe even nothing

God can

 

not me

carries the cross

 

not me

carries the responsibility

to turn wishes into

reality

to translate a value

into an action

not me

 

but

 

I am

light

feel

the cross

 

strengthened

I act

 

in the attempt

 

peace

and

justice

 

again and again

I search and

try

I

again and again

 

until

 

abstraction

becomes utopia

and then

reality.
