when we were little

when we were little we use to walk through the world
unconsciousness hand in hand with the consciousness
 and now who knows

when we were little we use to  talk about equality and revolution in parties  and songs
and now 
who knows

when we were little we use to get mad if someone raised a hand on those who were weaker and fragile
and now 
who knows

when we were little we use to look fascinated to a distant horizon and dream away
and now
who knows

and now
who are we?
and now
where did we  all go?

and now
if we are no longer able to respond to the cry for help of another human being
who knows what we are
who knows
