trouble

Today we raised together with the sun in the morning and we were carried high up in the sky, together with the clouds. It was a bit cold, but soon the warm light rays from the sun shining on our backs created some warmth. We sat and watched the world from above, slowly waking up. After a while, everything was alive. It all looked quite messy. People were rushing, children were crying, politicians were arguing. It looked as if all trouble was grown together to make a big chaos. So we took some soap and a sponge. The soap had a very light but delicate odor.. We cleaned everything up with the sponge and the soap. When we were done cleaning, we took a closer look at the world once again. The only thing visible were some pieces of land in the sea. Though everything was calm and flowing nicely, something was wrong. It was too empty. So we tried to make the world a bit more lively again by adding some people, some buildings, some villages.. But no, it was nothing like the real world. We suddenly realized that there could be no perfect world, that trouble is part of it, part of everyone's life.
So we undid the cleaning, the "changes for the better", which truly were nothing more than an attempt to make the impossible possible, which of course is... impossible.
