Mothers, SAY NO!......

Because if you don’t say no, if you don’t say no mothers, later, later:

Huge boats gets quiet grunting in the harbour cities, which is full of smoke, floating like huge mamooth corpses on the water, covered with moss, seaweeds and shells, its body, once shining in the sun, filled with graveyard and rotten fish smell, wornout, ill and dead body swaying the desert dock walls.

Trams gets crooked like brainless, matt, glass eyed cages. Railways remains still behind rotten hangars, lost streets with huge holes.

Grey mud, and silence will fill everywhere, forgetting everything, will get bigger at schools and universities and theater halls, stadiums and childparks, scary and continuous silence will spread.

Fresh vineleaves get rotten on ruined paths, will dry on droughty land, rice and potato get frozen on desert fields and cattles will erect their stiffed legs to the sky like turned down chairs

Genius inventions of great doctors will decay and get molded in institutes.

In the kitchens, cells and storeroom, warehouses, last packet flour, last bowl of strawberry, squash and others will spoil, bread will go grey under upside down tables, over the broken plates, Grease spread around will smell like soft soap, wheat on the fields will fall down near rusty ploughs, like destroyed army and smoking brick chimneys, iron mines and ruined factory chimneys will diminish being covered with endless grass...

Then the last man will wander aimlessly like a delusion under the crimson sun and swinging stars with lonely among the holograves which is impossible to overlook, last human, dried out, insane, swearing God, plaintively, will ask that dreadful question : WHY? This voice will become inaudible fading away in the depths of steps, blow over the ruins, flow through the leaks, this voice, in the ruins of temples and will hit the shelters, fall onto the blood heaps, be inaudible, be unanswered, last human-animal’s last animalistic hail.

All these will happen, tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe just tonight, if if if you don’t say NO!!!
