Make it a better place

If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me.

The most conspicuous thing about suffering is, as W.H. Auden once observed, its banality. The day is green, the sun is shinging, someone is eating, or opening a window, the torturer's horse is scatching its innocent behind on a tree, and in a mere second someone we love is dead.

Michael Jackson

My life being a color
Don't tell me you agree with me

The planets are lining up
We're bringing brighter days
