A World For The Fools
From a very young age my star stopped shining.
And among the many battles between life and death,
I discovered, I think by chance, the meaning of life.
At that moment I turned to look at this world.
And the doors to enter it fell down before me.
Why enter a world in which nothing in it will make life meaningful?
That world is for fools and it is made to measure for them.
A Riddle To Live
I’m lightning and I’m fire.
I’m life.
If you want me so much,
come and take me!
Do you know who I am?
A Double Promise
Keep your life.
And promise to live an extraordinary life.
I, on the other hand, promise to do you justice.
To turn your defects into virtues
And your defeats into victories.
Thus making you an unstoppable person.
