The world has changed

Clementine maluleka 2003 (Tladistad)



Everything has changed.
The real world has died,
We are living in a fantasy world.
The real world has vanished.

The world has changed,
expect the day and night,
still the same sunrise and sunset.
No longer black and white pictures,
but brighter picture without
colourful memories.

We don't recognize ourselves.
We believe in TV shows.
We believe that we are
made only for panorama.

We are living in the world,
where the is no respect,
peace, humanity and love.
We use people instead
of using things and we love
things instead of loving people

Books are no longer fantasy.
We found peace and love in books.
Books are the real world.
We found happiness in books.


We are no longer shaping,
But destroying the world.
We came in this world
to learn and love, but
now money is Paramount.

 The world where our
yesteryears are being buried.
The world where our yesteryears
have left their footprint and
marked their history, where
 are you, I don't recognize you

Our beautiful planet.
Our beautiful Earth.
We need you,come back to us.
We still want to see you.


The real world,the world
  that has eternal life.
The everlasting world
