Artist's CommentsToday I stood at the at the rails together with my friends, saying good bye to another one, waiting for her train. While sitting on the bench and waiting, we saw a dove on the rails. It sat there and didn't seem to go away. We said "Stupid bird. It better flies off before a train comes." Minutes later, it still wandered around. We went closer, and I noticed it was still a little bird. A young dove, it didn't even have all feathers and even its voice sounded young and sweet. We tried to scare it, so it would fly away from the rails. And I thought about going onto the rails and saving it several times. But I was too afraid a train would come all of sudden and... Yah. So we stood there. And watched. Watched the train come closer, stared at the dove, hoping it would fly away as the train came. It didn't. It got hit by the train and got dragged away some more meters, where it died. At least that's what my friends said. I turned away, i didn't want to see. Trying not to think about it, fighting against my tears and the upcoming sick feeling. ... It was a young dove, not knowing these things called 'trains'. It didn't know, because nature didn't create it. Humans did. Humans lethal creations. Killing tons of animals everyday. Yesterday, I felt bad for being german, because our fucking history of Nazi crap sticks to us. Nevermind what we do. Now I even feel bad for being human. We destroy and change nature as if we could decide ofer it. By 'we' I don't mean every single human, but humankind as a whole thing. We, the selfish. As we were talking about the horrormovie "The hills have eyes", a friend of mine said: "So you don't care if a girl gets raped by some strange men while her family gets killed, but cry over the birds in the cage they killed?!" I shrugged and said 'Yes'. Most destructive things, come from the humans. And humans know about it. Animals can't. They just try to live, in a world we change to its bad side. Sometimes I wish I could just be an animal. But for now, I just wish I would have jumped on the rails. Farewell little dove... |
