“Twenty-four karats got people talking like parrots,
And we inherit the motive to chase the top of the totem.
I told them wealth isn’t relative when you toss in the grave,
And in the end you’ll just be sleeping in the bed that you made.”

Life is so full of so many pains and joys that it becomes blinding at times. Glimpses of success are always there in the distance.
You just have to open your mind, or sometimes, your eyes…and even your heart. Brazilian pop singer NORA SELF truly reminds
us of the symphony of adventures and emotions that an open heart might find, in her piece “This Love’s Electric”:
“I gave in to the fire
Wrote my fate on sand
The flame of my desire
Was way more than you could stand.”

All the world can come undone and nothing more will not become. Winds will wisp and echoes wail. Still there’s water in the
pale, waiting for ever to set sail. Dry the sadness from the street and feed your children a better tune. Better yet, eat spaghetti
for dinner and give the cook a break.
Try not to get lost in the madness as it attempts to devour the conscious mind. For those still aware of reality’s farce, I dare
you to dream. Create the reality you wish to enjoy.
