Rooster crowing

This morning he’s still sleeping… he forgot to do his job… still not crowing… I plan ahead…

When we were surrounded by grass field smells and you said to look up… it comes from above… it comes from below… from morning… from evening… too much wind… it needs to calm down… look, when the cloud is above us, it’s going to rain… without uttering a word… without complaining… rain is precious… “it’s worth billions” but not in the way I thought…

Every Summer pulling weeds in the fields, fixing this, fixing that… a piece of wood here… 2 m of net there… 2 nails there… these were your so craved holidays… taking care of what was given us…

Moving rocks from the land and pulling weeds from wheat or corn was a must… of dedication and of passion, nature was asking and there was no need of thinking too much… she was the one asking and she showed us… we didn’t even know empathy with nature existed… we simply put i tinto practice… I didn’t undersand… too much tv…

Before chit-chats (I’d say… that got unpleasant and that only cheap actors can say and play) it was clear to those who empathically lived with nature what their mission was.

EVERYTHING THEY RECEIVED is not for profits buti t simply needs being taken care of and safeguarding for those who will come after us… whoever may be… finding a common path, in harmony with the Earth and its inhabitants is our only mission…

Diversifying and preserving guaranteed a minimum of substance… then they came along… and everything got monetiezed with the goal of profit… without caring for the methods, without any respect and without caring for our Earth we reached an impressive environmental footprint… when you eat pasta or rice or chicken breast, you consume a piece of soil for a few months… and lots of pieces make up the whole Earth… and when it is not available anymore. Someone will be left without pasta, without rice and without chicken…

When even a person is left without nothing, we have failed, the finger is to be pointed at those who pretend not to see, who waste resources money and energy imposing their unsrupulous only thought… the usual bullshits that lead to disasters… awareness doesn’t exist, they laugh…

Unfortunately I’m surrounded by almost-corpses in their 60s who, after causing disasters everywhere (society, economics, environment), are looking for a more humane and more authentic life… feeling the essential… sometimes they even pay for it… simply shameful and unforgivable… after mistreating their coworkers, neighbours, acquaintances, nature, the environment… humiliating, damaging, cheating, causing irreparable disasters… guilty of having cancelled the life of many… they feel out of place… oh god… they’re trying to put a patch on their conscience looking for a more genuine life… simpler…

They will never compensate the damages they caused, the humiliations they inflicted, the useless tortures they came up with towards those poor people who never had a voice… ridiculed with malice…

Those shady people simply need to be inertized…
