Escaping History



(1)
Why do you wake up before the sun to trace the steps you took yesterday and remove them from the memory of the desert?
Why do you run away from history?
Modernism is illusion.
Everything was history.
Everything is history.
Everything will be history.
Do you want to die without a heritage, as if you were never here?
Do you try to deny even your butterfly effect?

(2)
Why do you enjoy being silent and listening to me?
Why do you enjoy being invisible and watching me?
Do your animals give you the position of the provider and merciful God so you feel like you are responsible for saving others?
Do you imagine yourself as an angel at the heaven looking at people on the earth and feeling pity for them?
Yes, they are suffering, like your animals.
They are disgusting, like your animals.
They deserve your forgiveness, like your animals.
They are imperfect, like you!


(3)
Take people's eyes off your body.
Look at yourself naked without shame.
You will see that you are more beautiful than your image.
You will not need Botox, creams, lotions, hair dye or sleeping pills.
And you will not wake up before the sun.

(4)
God is watching you. You cannot hide your steps.
Angels record you. You cannot mute your breaths.
And my heart feels your pulses.
Take your space but you cannot take yourself from me.
I am your history!
