Are we just too weak
To follow
Principles we set ourselves?
Or are we just too strong
To care
If anyone respects?

Life.

The right to feel heart beating,
To breathe, to love
To feel, to grief.
Everything we have
Chained inside one word.
But, I don’t know why –
Blood keeps on asking blood;
It seems there’s not enough
Room on Earth for everyone:
Self-destructive species
Losing our own heart.

Freedom.

The right to rise your eyes to sky
To let thoughts inside go
Bring them to your lips.
Dignity is a valor
That we are learnt to keep.
Free mind, free soul
Free human beings;
That’s what all of them shout,
Their voice is heard just anywhere
Incredibly loud.
But we’re just caught
Beyond the masks we have
We don’t even want to throw
Don’t want to go away.

Happiness.

Can it be defined?
From kissing a flower
To ruling the world;
It has so many forms.
“The right to happiness”
We say,
And think we’ve said it all.
We’ve opened up a gate
Few pass, so many want to
But they are still outside,
Satisfied with living
Asking what’s beyond.
So many of our dreams
Never been fulfilled.
But, as they’re closing it
They’re showing us a gate.

That’s the trinity
We say we love so much
Words just slip through lips
Never we will touch.
