Have You Ever Heard

Have you ever heard a girl finding the grain of sand?
A child in the search of old age 
Have you heard water is shouting for help? 
Tears are crying and they have thirst
Have you ever heard hate is in love with love?
Beauty is jealous to ugliness
Sky is envious to Earth
Death is afraid of life and the hope is flying 
Birds are flying out of the planet 
Have you heard a man is tired of taking breath?
Future doesn’t like to become future
Have you heard feet want their freedom? 
Mind wants to stop thinking
Dreams want their true stories; they want a new world where they can rule
Have you heard we don’t want to be born? 
We are prisoners of our hunger
 Have you heard we are the slaves of dark beauty? 
And finally truth is beseeching to lie, cover the truth
