sowing the seeds of peace

adults when they shake hands they share a sign of peace
life as seen by children,
 proposal for a new urban plan of good and healthy handshakes

daddy did you know that adults when they shake hands they share a sign of peace?
yes, without a doubt I saw them, sometimes they shake hands and smile, they look happy
they seem happy …..

they shake hands and give a sign of peace  as they do at the mass 
no matter if it rains or snows, I see them going around in the streets every day shaking hands, seriously !

daddy, why are there wars, why adults hurt each others then?
maybe they do not recognize themselves anymore,
 maybe there is a thunderstorm going through their heads 
maybe there is a hurricane in their heads who knows ....

daddy, maybe a handshake is not enough to make peace
 no, is not enough….

maybe we need to sow those handshakes,
as in the countryside grandma and grandpa sow potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and beans
maybe a good crop of handshakes can be a good medicine, 
a remedy so that they do not feel alone any more in their own skin

yes, a good crop of handshakes can be good medicine, an excellent remedy
 so that they do not fear anymore, so they do not feel alone anymore in their skin

maybe we need to keep those handshakes in our pockets and in our hearts while we continue to walk and walk .....

daddy you must study a solution, an invention, an application that helps all adults to remember where they left their handshakes wandering around alone

a kind of map to help adults keep in mind where and to whom they gave all those handshakes, so they will not forget anymore

and so with that map it will be easier to go away from home without fear of not being able to return, of not being able to find the way back home 

as at the playground when I go far away,
 but only so far to turn around and still see you,
and so I feel quiet and so I feel safe
I feel happy, I feel safe ...

 so there will be a chain of friendly hands, of known hands 
and we could even paint those handshakes on the walls, on the rusty railings on those huge advertising boards,
like a river of colored handshakes along the streets and throughout the city
a flood of hands smiling, hands like a storm over the city, a chain of hands as an endless ribbon

and then we should invent the stops for handshakes, just as the bus stops that are out there, on the streets and at the train stations

 like islands in the city, stops with a bright roof and comfortable and colorful benches for those who are tired of walking alone, for those who want to rest in waiting for a good handshake ...
for those who are tired of walking alone in the world for those who want to sit in waiting for a good and warm handshake ...


because you have to sow those handshakes,
as in the countryside grandparents sow in the garden potatoes, tomatoes, carrots and beans
maybe  a good crop of handshakes can be a good medicine, a remedy sot they do not feel alone any more in their own skin 

 yes, a good crop of handshakes definitely will to be a good medicine, a remedy sot that adults do not feel frightened, do not to feel alone anymore in their own skin ..

daddy do not look at me like that, come on, do not look surprised!
 I know that my dreams are strange and bizarre,
 but the dreams and desires of us children if they are good, you adults must realize them  there are no excuses,
no excuse!

and adults should not be afraid of being left alone in their skin never!
 they are not alone out there, here we are the little ones!
We the children! We have good ideas and we can always give a big handshake we ask nothing in return, nothing!

We the children, we the little ones can give loads of good and colored ideas
We can provide a bunch of smiles and  good handshakes 
 smiles and  warm handshakes as good as freshly baked bread in the morning
as good as freshly baked bread in the morning!

adults when they shake hands they share a sign of peace
 proposal for a new urban plan and for communitarian garden to grow good and healthy handshakes
life as seen by children 
sowing the seeds of peace
