08 – Closer



With the Internet networking we could imagine that people could get closer to each other, but that's just virtual... It's not real. Human relations remain restricted, because although we have a thousand profiles and present ourselves, virtually in several places, at the same time, we can only be (physically) in one place, at a given moment. Let's live the present, with the people we love. For relationships are even built, day-by-day, with the people we live with, not the ones we superficially interact through the WEB. For despite the internet, despite the facilities for traveling and cross borders, we are increasingly lonely and sad. Globally, the suicide kills more than the wars, every year. We need to be closer to each other, in the small things, in the attention of the daily tasks, in the eye-in-the-eye, in fraternal embraces, or simply listening, talking... Then, we won't stumble in the natural falls of the ways and nor we will be presumptuous when someone elevate us, since none of these positions is permanent.

I didn’t know how many feelings
that I had.
But, now I know that I had been
so bad
But now I know as I am so sad.
But now I know why I was not so
ready.
_ I’d like be closer to you.
_ I’ll try to be so pure!
_ Now, I know you’re my cure!
Just now I know without you I can’t go ahead
Just now I know how many I was so mad
Just now I know that many pains
are caused by a fad
Just now I know that some things
need to be made so together
_ I’d like be closer to you.
_ I’ll try to be so pure!
_ Now, I know you’re my cure!
