Close Your Eyes

Lehrgedicht zum Thema Realität

von  DariusTech

Sometimes, one should close the eye
To listen for a while
And for his peace should keep an isle
To let the world speed by

Even now it's speeding up
I'm speaking about time
It's difficult just to keep up
And not to waste your time
By following some crazy dream
And dissappear unheard, unseen

One wonders 'bout the course of life
One wonders just what it's about
And for which goals a man should strive
Well, who knows what Life's about?
This world's not fair and complicated
It feels like life is confiscated

Sometimes, one should close the eye
And listen for a while
And for his peace should keep an isle
To let the world speed by

It sounds quite hollow, just somehow
Well, money doesn't spoil the world
And one does need it now, somehow
I've heard that money turns the world
But it has turned four billion years
Please think before you waste your years

By striving for more than you need
For money, power, status quo
It's likely you can't keep that speed
You'll finally lose it, so or so
And lonely you'll be in your grave
Without what you have reached, so brave

Sometimes, one should close the eye
To listen for a while
And for his peace should keep an isle
To let the world speed by

If you travel, take it slow
Your soul will, then, keep up with you
I've heard a wise man say it so
Although that will not always do
If you're too fast your life will seem
Just like an unknown strangers dream

 DariusTech meinte dazu am 17.09.05:
First: Thank you for showing up, chancing a look and a comment, giving me a feedback, and the excuse to use English. That's what I hate about the term break, noone with whome to talk English.
Well, where is a contrast between "this world's not fair" and "the world is complicated"? I don't see any contrast, so I won't construct an artificial one.
Secondly, well, the adverb... If I say, "travel slowly", that would spoil the rythm and the rhyme, that is why I deliberately made use of a grammatical incorrect form (dichterische Freiheit - *hi hi*). Anyway, There is an easy way of avoiding that problem, which didn't occur to me, after spending several hours at the computer (bad for concentration). What about, "if you travel, take it slow"? Quite simple, isn't it?
Darius
And sorry, if I made any further typing mistakes. I am awful at typing.
