Schleichende Veränderungen
prägen heimlich das Gesicht.
Durch Gewöhnung ungezwungen
nimmt man hin und zweifelt nicht.
Wenn Jahrzehnte so verstreichen
staunt man über Neuerungen.
Alte Formen mussten weichen,
Technik hat das Feld errungen.
Epochen folgten immer schon
einem Trend. Der ließ sich Zeit.
Heute herrscht ein forscher Ton.
Ist ein Mensch dafür bereit?
Should love need symbols like a heart
there would indeed exist enough.
Everyone had it from the start,
good to them, to others rough.
Giving your heart away in love
can literally tear a hole.
Your soul must try to cope and shove
equal matter in its role.
Requited love makes two hearts sing.
The melody forms from within
and covers distances to bring
each other happiness to win.
Port and starboard for the sailors are
signals as for others left and right.
But red and green for drivers of a car
draw their attention only by their light.
The choice of red and green, however,
points to their contrast which says either or,
mistaking left for right is never clever,
not stopping at a red light you deplore.
Nature, you see, puts red and green together
and other colours, which you wouldn’t dare.
It never once must wonder whether
sailors or drivers are supposed to care.
