Sow for yourself righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast love; break up your fallow ground, for it is the time to seek the Lord, that He may come and rain salvation upon you (Hosea 10:12).

Now what

now
that we build
our buildings
castles for bigger egos

now
that we digged
for gold
and energy
as if there is no
bottom
in the end

now
that we blew
the fire
higher and higher

now
that we are playing
as if it was
for life and death

now
that we produced
for the market
we created first
by greed

now
that we spent
more money
than we have
ever had

now
that the god
we served
has been denied
neglected
and ignored

now
that we sing
our songs
of freedom
and everything
seems possible

what else can we get
what more can be done
how much higher
can our goals grow

yes
what more
can more do
to everything
whe cannot keep
after all

now
when the night
is falling

now
that we loose
control

now
that buildings
are empty
and houses are full
of stuff
we did not need
at all

now
that we
amused ourselves
to death
hearts are lonely
and families broken

now
that our leaders
do not know
at all
what the next step
for a possible solution
might be
and even now
disagree
with everyone else

now
that questions
cannot be answered

now
that people
everywhere
on our planet
are dying
from hunger
and wars


***

... now what ...


***

now what
more can we do
can we be
can we expect

now where
should we go
from now on

who knows
any answers
and who is
in control

now who
is the master
and where is the leader
with the guts to change
us all

now
is the time
to kneel down
to the wounded
the injured
to the broken dreams
and empty promises

now is the time
to bury egos
come to our purpose
change
to our deeper selves

now is the time
to look up
higher and higher

now is the time
to pray
and make a choice

forget the money
forget the goals
forget anything else
that buries our heart
it is idle
it is vain
it is empty

let us open up
and empty
all sins and sorrow
worries and pain

no longer neglect
our shame
and loneliness

but
acknowledge
the desire
of life
and love
light
and eternity

and finally
meet our maker
face to face

realise
our dream
and his dream
at the same time
