Did you know
that the closeness of a human
can fix health
or sicken
or kill and bring back to life

did you know
that the closeness of a human
can do things good or bad
sad or glad

did you know
that a stay off of a human
can lead to death
that a coming of a human
leads to life again

did you know
that the voice of a human
helps another human
to listen again
who once had become deaf

did you know
that the word
or the conduct of a human
can make someone seeing
who was blind once
who didn´t see anything
no sense in this world
and in his life

did you know
that having time for a human

is more than money
more than drugs
more than a brilliant surgery

did you know
that listening to a human

creates wonders
that goodwill bears interest
that an advance of trust
will come back hundredfold

did you know
that doing is more than talking
did you know all this
did you also know
that the way from knowing via talking
to doing
is interplanetarily wide?

No, you don´t know

you vomit myriads of words instead

you support a hyper inflation of words

and your words are not even intelligent.

You call for awakening -

shame on you, shadow beings!

It seems

your supposed love to humans

comes from your envy

not to be human.

Did you know

that constraint is not a curse

and limits are not bad at all

no you don´t

you beings of fortune!

I believe

you are not honest

and never have been

I would be delighted

to see you keeping silent

at least this would be

a deep sign of respect

toward us humans.

And when time allows

then we will speak

close and as friends...
