World War II memorial

May 4
Eight 'o clock
Two minutes
Silence.
Realizing
how many people
died
while fighting for their freedom
while fighting for our freedom
I came to the conclusion that
from now on
each and every day
I should thank the Universe
for being able to live in Freedom
for being able to live my life
All these years
I have taken Freedom for granted
never thought twice when
I gave my opinion.

Two minutes.
Silence.
While I take my Freedom for granted
A lot places on Earth don't have that Freedom
that's so normal for me.
The Middle East
people fighting
for the right to
live their lifes as they want to.
people dying
because they fight
for our first basic right:
FREEDOM.

Two minutes
to remember 5 years
of war
hunger
genocide
racism
suppression
High Society
and
Low Society
with the latter
not even being considered
society at all.
merely seen as
a stain.
HUMAN LIVES
experimenting on children
gassing babies
children
adolescents
man
women
mothers
fathers
grandfathers
grandmothers
Jews
gipsies
homosexuals
everyone who opposes the regime
put upon them.

2 minutes
to honor the people
who's life so abruptly ended
because they fought for
what they believe was right
for them
for us
Families torn
Lovers all at a sudden
torn apart
never seeing each other again
Mothers
without daughters
Sons
without fathers.

How can a war possibly
do any good?

Each day
i'll thank the Universe
for letting me be who I am
just because I like myself
the way I am.
Each day
I'll thank the Universe
for the thing I've taken for granted
for so long
For a word
carrying such a heavy load.

Each day
I'll thank the Universe

For my Freedom.
