Frozen

You are frozen
in your fear
You are frozen
in your suspicion
You are frozen
in your hesitation
in your division
in your section.

You are moving
Talking
Shouting
no more

You have become my dear
stone for sure

You are confirming borders
wealth collectors set here and there

You are frozen
lonely and lost
And your agony
is frozen in your passive throat

You ... judge, on your hearings

Your image clock has stopped
on the time you left

You were brave, and beautiful once,
now, your fears!
you are gray and frozen

Time is running fast –
look deeply again
do not stay lonely in your suspicion
division
and section
love and unity
will make you warm again
Your freeze will melt
Your hands will take other hands
Victory and future will be man’s again.
