Kiddie Smokedetector Beeps

Smile



I saw you going down the street .. I do not know if it is was my imagination or if you really cross your eyes with mine, but I felt a chill inside and the tears started to burn my eyes so much that I had to stop the bike crumpled.
I became for a moment your eyes watching the sky, more than 135 °, always a landscape chosen by others and I imagined that in distant places you could volartene every day, every hour, every minute of your life. I watched as you dreamed of running, jumping or just walking down the street to get to the bakery to get bread. I saw you swim and kick a ball, I saw you smiling at the beach after a night swim, I saw you standing in front of a sunset and opened in an abyss of emotions ...
I cleaned his eyes and turning I saw you turn away moved by what I thought, was to be your mother .. perhaps the gentle method with which you spoke softly smiling faces from behind your inseparable "buggy" and I thought that your face had turned back towards me and I smile ...
face of it selfishly I thought my luck was, by now, enormous strength and that I had to live my life to the fullest, walking with my legs still able, with my strong arms embracing, smiling with his eyes the lips and hearts every day .. but then .. then something is born from inside, an anger that was mounting inexorably, a bit 'against the world and a lot against me ..
It 's true that each day we thank God (whatever name we want to give him) to be as less skilled, it is true that we must try not to waste our lives, but it is also true that we must not forget those who at this time less fortunate than us, although we can not change their situation, we can instead give them a smile and a bit 'of that time instead, "invested" in being more on top, filling the ego of power since that we forget to love. But above all, at least we have a duty to protect these children and their families, preventing those who govern us (I wonder why I always think of the term my grandmother used when she talks to bring the chickens to eat .. "Did you GOVERNED chickens?" More and more the connotation of this word really seems to me that our country tradition perfectly applied to the intentions of the politicians ... mah ..) to remove the little 'protection and rights that our state "democratic" should ensure that disabled people. . I read and instead of a reduction in pensions (to shame) of contributions to the down, school support etc. .. while these pigs who will fatten their seats to finish after taking just two years of "work" stratospheric pensions throughout their "life" ... Why? Because none of us untouched in their suffering can not move a finger? What we have really convinced that we can not change anything? Why? Why are we here every day to make us the war between the poor trying to look more and more "rich here," and we put them prone to the service .. I have no anger, believe me, just a heart full of sorrow and determination in my small way to bring a little seed, practicing understanding, compassion, determination and perseverance. I am ready to make 10,000 mistakes but I do not want to believe that our society, our world has not only a hope, I can not do otherwise would make no sense my existence.

good trip and a hug of heart
