FOR A BETTER WORLD...
We wander in the chaos of desires
Those big and small wishes
Among the chaos of the streets
Which ones should we follow to make them happen?
Movement with clouds, with birds
Sort by aircraft
After everything that flies
With the melody of love
For the life that collides with us
With the troubled reality
From the chaotic noise
Of cybernetic media power
Embedding into consciousness
That the wind of change will make
For the future to be better
With hope
More beautiful than today...
