I will dance, sing and write!

I will dance, sing and write!

I Will dance

                While the world burns.

I will dance

                As the last bear is shot

I will dance

                As the last tree is chopped.

I will dance.

I will sing

                As the air turns to smoke

I will sing

                As the ice boils to steam

I will sing

                As the rocks melt to lava

I will sing

I will write

                Until the sun explodes

I will write

                Until the stars wink off

I will write

                Through the pointlessness

I will write

Opher – 22.4.2024

I believe in gestures.

We might not be able to control what is happening to the world, we may be pawns in a bigger game, we may be helpless flotsam on an ocean of corruption and destruction, there may be far greater forces at play than us, but we can at least protest, speak out, stand tall and shout about it, we can at least live our little lives in joy. Speak out. Speak out against the madness!

We can love, live our lives in joy and peace. We can dance at the majesty of nature, the universe and life. We can sing about pleasure. We can live.
