We get used to...
waking up in the morning, startled because it's time to drink coffee fast, because it is running late.
reading the news on the bus because we can not waste time on the trip.
eating sandwiches because we do not have time for a healthy meal.
walking the streets and see posters, opening the magazines and see ads, turning on the television and watch commercials.
struggling to make money, to earn less than we need and to pay more than the things are worth.
living in apartments funds and have no other view than the windows around.
not open all the curtains, and as we get used to it, forget the sun, air, spaciousness.
pollution, artificial light quiver, to shock the eyes lead with natural light.
the bacteria from drinking water, slow death of rivers, contamination of sea water.
war and violence, and accepting war and violence, we acceptn the growing number for the dead. And, accepting the numbers, you agree with no peaceful world.
We get used to all this not to suffer... We get used not to grate on the roughness to preserve the skin.
We get used to all this to save our own lives... Which gradually pass, and so much getting used to, it loses itself.
We get used to all this, I know... but we should not.
