Today I would like to share an english poem with you.
Modern world
The pursuit of liberty
consists
nowadays
of a long avenue,
skirted by
boutiques and
technology stores,
leading directly
into the prison
of consumption.
Its walls are made of
materialism and the constant
longing for more,
wallpapered by neon
lights and posters,
destroying the view
of the world
outside the bars and painting
a colourful image of the cell.
The guards` colourful clothes
make us realize
our own nakedness,
which we try to cover
by imitating them,
but our consumption
remains empty,
because they have stolen
the suitable materials,
our immaterial possession.
