I have heard,
There are no limits to your potentialities.
Then, Why is there no playground for me
Every morning?
Why do you take me to the same fair again and again?
Always give me the same toy to play
Oh!
Why the same moon, the same sun,
The same stars everytime?
Is this your infinite diversity?
I challenge you to create a new sky
Every night
Or a new earth every morning.
I am sick of going round and round
On this wooden horse.
I want some living mount
Which can take me out of these fences
And run over the green valleys beyond.

Why don’t you understand, my father!
I have become adult
And have stood up on my legs.
