Glorious times


Share the bread, piece is the way, i have a dream, yes we can,
can we?
glorious phrases of history
Mahatma is dead, Teresa is dead, are we?
are we alive?

pearls of faith
passed by resolution drafts and euro saving packages

French kiss with Japan's prime minister
sharing a Latte Macchiato with the Bundeskanzlerin
Facebook friends with Obama

my T-shirt has travelled further than me, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Tamil Nadu,
many countries, many little hands,
the world's coming closer

Saying goodbye to the Starbuck's sign at Frankfurt airport
landing in New York 8 hours later, right in time for breakfast at McCafé
burgers, made by mother nature,
rainforest sacrificed to enable the humane slaughter of cows,
tables, wiped by the Mexican woman living next door,
one wasting, one cleaning up
getting together, globalisation
teamwork is great, isn't it?

Feeling the spreading warmth somewhere near this beating thing -
heart, right? -
or maybe it's only the effect of global warming,
but nothing to worry about,
saving our planet is one of the five top themes for the next summit meeting,

it's achieved
glorious times we live in,
we've made it, haven't we?

haven't we?
