That day, that day I wished for a new life, a life carrying the sense of livability, having an achievement with flying colours,
I had contemplated my merciless livelihood and what I found was disastrous meaninglessness laying under its roots,
I prayed for a new hood having the compatibility of nothing more than my grounded ideas satisfying my bodily needs,
I dreamed of resting on a ground covered by the green grass missing the corrosiveness, the grass fed by my own hands,
The river flowing alongside the lane to my home, I walked through its waters, for that moment only my restlessness subsided like it had some healing chants dispersed over it,
I sat on the shoreline and saw the clouds flowing in a hurrying manner and in an instance mother earth found me shouting, like a child crying for his missing mother, like an old man sobbing for his past sins laying on his dead bed…
