Invisible Fuel

Je’free

It was not the wind that pushed
Da Vinci’s hands to paint Mona Lisa;
Nor the waves that carried Einstein
To arrive at his Theory of Relativity.
The world is moved by movers
Who are moved by an invisible fuel.
Like spacecrafts, we blast-off to space
To explore a universe of possibilities
Via an inferno of flames.

The corrupt politician confesses his secret -
His prowling eyes obsessed with the next
Lump sum to add to his account, or
On the next investment for security.
The divorcee is back on the hunt
For the next lover who can feed her
Acceptance, a boost of ego, sense of safety.
The bird soars a sky of ambitions.
The fish swims an ocean of dreams.
Everybody constantly craves for certainty.
A country wages war against another.
This slavery must be our own limbo,
Our temporary heaven, our personal hell.

Maybe one day, we will master
The consumption of our fuel
Before it runs out, making us reach
A permanent heaven where desires,
Manageable, are not triggering us
To be out of our very own control.
