Be a Momo

Inspired by Momo: a novel written by Michael Ende

dear one
in a world
full of
"The Men in Grey"
please
be a "Momo"

do not worry at all
"Cassiopeia"
will definitely come
to help you
on your journey
and you will always
always
have
more than enough
time



Poet's note: I suggest all children and adults read Michael's amazing book especially in the current world.
