XVIII
Someday everything will be different
On the earth.
People won’t hurt
Animals anymore, they will eat
Artificial food.
Everybody understood
That life is very precious
And that we must be cautious
With nature and things.
Who knows what God thinks
When we destroy
Things that once brought us joy?
Good probably also likes toys
Made for little boys
And he probably likes also the dolls
Made for little girls!
If only He would wish
To give them life one day
We would obey and prey
That toys should live
Forever.
Be clever
And think that God couldn’t bear
To see a dying Teddy bear
Or a dead toy cat.
We all would have a nightmare instead
To be happy and astonished
Like we never were on this planet.
The oceans and the see
Are telling me
That they also live.
The wind may be naive
Because sometimes he blows to strong,
And this is wrong,
But he also lives,
And the flowers and the trees
Love us as it seems.
Be careful with them
And let them be wise in your dreams
And in my poem!
