we’ve learned nothing
to Randolfo, mi friend who died of AIDS in the 90’s
we’ve learned nothing
we've already lived this
we've already cried this
the history we wrote repeats
we go back to the same mistakes
as we’ve learnt nothing
people can't understand
why inequality
why injustice
why poverty
why must we suffer
but advice we don't listen to
reality we refuse to see
instead of building bridges
we raise walls
instead of being united
we divide
instead of shaking hands
we turn our backs
instead of taking care of each other
we keep our distance
fallen men
don't always rise again
mothers cry for those children
they no longer see
friends we lost
will never come back
as we’ve learnt nothing
we are afraid of being human
we are afraid to give a
friendly kiss or a brotherly hug
we are afraid of sharing love
we have no respect for life
that's how we live every day
that's how we die every day
as we’ve learnt nothing

A very valid opinion and a well-written piece!

Thank you very much. Keep safe.
Indeed... So true
Very powerful piece.
Favorite line
The walls we build are massive -- some times they are made with steel that is invisible -- but it's there, all around us.
Your poem inspired me to write, so thank you!
Life is hard
We live
We try
We experience
We dream
We fear
We become solidified in our chairs
We grieve
We blame
We struggle
We dream
We make improvements
We learn
We find cures
We are human beings
We are intelligent
We have no real boundaries
We have vision
We have strength
We have literature
We have Cosmofunnel! :)
We have a way to improve
We have each other
We will be stronger
We will get through this
We will all become one
world, probably for the first
time ever.
As one species -- forgetting
the barriers of being human.
I love the fluidity of your poem. Thanks for sharing. All the best
This poem just hits different.
Hello I am new here but this is a great poem from
many angles it is easy to feel it.. easy to receive powerful
imagery and it just stands on it's own,
Great job.
