"So much good can be achieved with a lot of power and a lot of money
and yet it is never done"

It's something I can really despair about
This thought, when I have it again
breaks my heart every time

It doesn't let me go and the question of why is an agonizing and never-ending one

A kiss she felt on her cheek
A cold shiver ran through her heart

A kiss from a time long forgotten
Of a love that never was

The touch of hate she recognized
on her cheek

The warmth left her body
Coldness now filled the room

She was afraid to turn
to see if he was back

When is a voice so loud that it spans the world?

When is a voice so loud that it is heard by everyone?

When is a voice understood by everyone?

When will the voice calling for justice
be louder than the voice of injustice?

When will the voice that stands up for more humanity be louder
than that of inhumanity?

When?

One thing is quite simple

Freedom of speech ends
where it curtails that of others

No one can demand freedom
if he curtails that of others
and does not concede the same freedom to others

This applies to everyone

Eine Sache ist wohl ganz simpel

Meinungsfreiheit endet da
wo sie die der anderen beschneidet

Niemand kann eine Freiheit fordern
wenn er die von anderen beschneidet
und anderen nicht die gleiche Freiheit eingesteht

Dies gilt für jeden

A better world
A brighter one
A just one
An equal one
A tolerant one

without hate
and
where love is the answer

For everyone

We should all fight for this
and fight those who don't want it

Each of us
every day
can make a difference

For a long time I struggled with myself to not seem like a bully and someone who spreads hate and then I realized I am not alone, there is already a petition

https://www.change.org/p/disqualify-convicted-child-rapist-steven-van-de-velde-from-the-olympics

Here is my contribution
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND SHARE IF YOU AGREE

The torture of the day
stripped off

Looking further ahead
hoped

The evil one
Stand against it

Looked there
where view needed

The hope
don't let it fade away

Love sucked in
holding on
So that no one
stealing it from me

si_irini

Die Qual des Tages
abgestreift

Weiter nach vorne geschaut
gehofft

Dem Bösen
Die Stirn geboten

Geblickt dahin
wo Blick gebraucht

Die Hoffnung
nicht schwinden lassen

Liebe eingesaugt
festhaltend
so das niemand
sie mir klaut

We all struggle with our demons
Some with small ones
but some also with huge ones

Each one of us is fighting a battle
Often it may seem hopeless, you want to give up
and some give up

How do you give someone strength?
How can you help someone?
How can you win a battle that seems hopeless?

It's easy to say don't give up, I often think I've lost many battles or given up too

Wir alle haben mit unseren Dämonen zu kämpfen
Manche mit kleinen
aber manche auch mit riesigen

Jeder für sich
führt einen Kampf
Oft mag er hoffnungslos erscheinen, man will aufgeben
und manche geben auf

Wie gibt man jemand Kraft?
Wie kann man jemand helfen?
Wie kann man einen aussichtslos erscheinen Kampf gewinnen?

Es ist leicht zu sagen man solle nicht aufgeben, ich glaube oft ich habe viele Kämpfe verloren oder auch aufgegeben

Every person has a "voice"
and has the right to raise this voice
Everyone

It does not matter
how wealthy you are

It does not matter
what level of education you have

Everyone has one voice
Everyone has an opinion
Everyone has the freedom to speak out

1/5

This is where it begins

Ripping despair fuels it

Burning chunks rolling
Spreading hissing fire hatred

Destructively burning
Unstoppable now

Trees falling leaves
Covering the desecrated human earth

Preserving arrogance, thinking
possessing all freedom

Heartless, soullessly executing
Exercising power, laughing triumphantly

si_irini

Hier beginnt es

Reißende Verzweiflung schürt es

Brennend Brocken rollend
verbreitend zischend Feuer Hass

Zerstörend verbrennend
unaufhaltsam nun

Bäume Blätter fallend
bedeckend der geschändet Menschen Erde

Arroganz erhaltend, denkend
jegliche Freiheit besitzend

Herzlos, seelenlos vollstreckend
Macht ausübend, triumphierend gelacht

The whip of violence
Chosen to hold them there
Not visible to them
yet pain dwells there
to know we
without lingering
that slaves we
with fetters and with whips

Not visible they
and yet present
since chosen ones create them
and hold power where
where they are desired
of the chosen world
to keep us bound and small

si_irini

Die Peitsche der Gewalt
Auserkorene sie da halten
Nicht sichtbar sie
doch Schmerz da wohnt
zu wissen wir
ohne zu verweilen
das Sklaven wir
mit Fesseln und mit Peitschen

Nicht sichtbar sie
und doch vorhanden
da Auserkorene sie erschaffen
und Macht da halten
wo sie gewünscht
der Auserkorenen Welt
um uns zu fesseln und klein zu halten

Children...our future....In a society that far too often acts far away from any humanity and spends a life full of superficiality and inhumanity.
We should first think about what kind of world we are leaving our children and whether we should not make it a better one for our children.
