I mean 10 years of packing bags and unpacking and re-packing. I never unpacked fully, a week goes by pretty fast.
Time in unmangable. It goes by too fast, it passes too slowly... everything seems to happen at the wrong time. That is the problem with time. However time is nothing at all. Solely a humn invention to mark events. Our lives are built of seconds and days of the week. Second by second, day by day, year by year. Time really is nothing at all.
However the whole time we are leaving, we are going, we are moving... house to house, border to border. We never learned how to stay, how to live...
I left and therefore I can't stop you from leaving... nothing will defer your path... not my words, not my love, nothing. I'd be a hypocrite if I tried to stop you.
I was always running, first in place and now thousands of miles away. I don't know how to stay. You're no different.
Maybe there is nothing good in this world, maybe people are as evil and corrupt as many think, maybe society isn't so good afterall... maybe our lives are run by corporations and people buying into the same products that slaughter the 3rd world, maybe all we touch we damage... but there is still good in this world.
Good that never makes the news headlines. The world is always falling apart and we blow it up across newwspaper headlines and the 6 o'clock news. We don't want to hear about the small things, the small goods things that someone somewhere did for no reason at all except becuase they were part of the same human race or did for no reason at all. These things will never make the headlines, maybe they are heard by word of mouth or are seen by a passerby. These small things, small acts of kindness are what will keep us going.
All the people who stand up when no one else does, the people who scarafice for other's with no alternate motive, the people who are hard to find and can't be found.
These small things, these courageous people will save us, from drowning in the evils of human society. Not everyone is here to make a dollar no matter who it hurts, not everyone is power hungry, not everyone buys name brands which add to the destruction of the world. You need to know I see it differently. I want you to seee, to know as I know. That there is still good in this world. That eliminating yourself from our lives will help no one, it will change nothing. Only with your voice, with your actions, your influence can anything change.
We were always leaving, going, moving, packing and never unpacking it was barely a life at all. I don't want to keep doing this, I don't want you to go, I don't want you to die. I may not know you, and I want the chance to know you, the chance for you to change everything. You have soemthing to say, something to do. You can't leave us without saying what needs to be said, what needs to be done. You can't leave me here, alone.
Why do we always have to leave?
