Dream it Out Loud
How do you speak in silence?
Why do you sleep when you're awake?
If we just cut the tie lines, then we can simply sail away.
Pack up your things. Write it all down.
You'll soon be accustomed to the sound.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
I want to paint in colors.
Leaving the land of black and white.
And if we do go back there, we'll see it in a different light.
Ready to go. Open the door.
Just like the rain falls from the cloud.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
Dream it out loud.
It's a better day.
We're on our way.
If there's anything we can't remember.
Who's to say it's not all just a dream.
Don't have to think about it.
Just like a river it will flow.
We waited to long without it.
If we just get up now and go.
Open your eyes and look around.
You'll be surprised what you have found.
Dream it out loud. (x 10)
(I'm dreaming. Keep on dreaming.) (x10)

A Child's Mind
A child's mind is so soft a clay
mold it to into anything you may
it's tender and innocent so, for the moment
let it free to play!
Nothing does it know, of the Life's Dirty Play
For it life is all Bright and Gay
It is True, Sweet and Pure
But the way it is, Let it stay!
For in this world of misery and grief
To my mind is a relief,
that a Temple of Innocence
in the world still does exist!

The Falling Man
One of the most haunting imagens captured from 9/11, it shows a man free-falling after he has jumped from one of the windows of North Tower. He was one of the people they call “Jumpers”, who chose to jump to their death rather than get suffocated por the smoke or get buried under the rubble. Some called them cowards, while some sensationalized them as tragic symbols of 9/11. But the fact of the matter is, it was a hard choice for anyone to make, and one can not really judge the decisions a person makes in times like these.
People, you rant so much about how you have a hard time making choices. Whether you should work on your assignment or go out with your friends. Whether you should encontro, data this guy or that guy. Whether you should break up with your boyfriend or not. Whether you should wear the rosa, -de-rosa blusa or the baby blue one.
Imagine the choice this man had to make.....

if someone is making you upset, just say "look how carless and mean he/she/they are/is."
if someone doesn't believe you, just say "i can't do anything to change your mind."
if someone doesn't like the way you are, or they want to change something about you, say "i didn't make myself like this. this is how i was born. take me as i am, or don't accept me at all."
if someone is bullying you for "no reason", it's because they like you, or is jealous of you, or it's the spirits clashing.
