Beware, my Dear Friend!

Friend, my dear friend, beware of   

The majestically authoritarian father

The monarchically imposing teacher

The cruelly violent bullies at school

The absurdly over busy and uncaring mother

The insensitively demanding family

The mercilessly restricting society

The inhumanely demand for packaged behavior

The putridly disgusting inequalities

The horrifyingly belittling aggressions from acquaintances

The massively advertised propaganda of frivolous living

The malevolently destructive dogmas of Heaven and Hell

The psychopathically dreadful government’s decisions

The vampirically parasites that suck the bliss out of our small achievements

And much, much, much more abhorrently situations

Are the daily cornerstones of our human plight

Because they destroy our dignity

Wash away our sense of respect

Vaporize our ideals of hope

Massacre our gusts of imagination

And slaughter our natural wish for love

And they do it, for the elementary reason that

They are blind to the flowers blossoming in the garden

To the parents who bestow their most affectionate love to their kids

To the trees bearing delicious and succulent fruits

To the friends who share their dreams and fears with one another

To the waves that gently splashes the power of the ocean on the beach

To the strangers that freely give a helpful hand to the needy

To the wind that carries the news of the fields to the forests

To the lovers who feel the entire universe in the transcendence of a kiss

And to the spring that, from a single drop, fills rivers and water full plantations

Yes, my friend, unfortunately they are sightless to gifts of life

So, be watchful and careful

For they are everywhere, disguised in some many customs

Awaiting to deceive you

And feed themselves off the nectar of your sublime existence

Also, forgive me dear one, I know these words are a little bit disquieting

But, they are still necessary

Because, oftentimes, the escapism of silence is much more painful. (Tadany – 10 04 17)
