Cine moare? de Pablo Neruda

Moare cate putin cine se transforma in sclavul
obisnuintei, urmand in fiecare zi aceleasi
traiectorii; cine nu-si schimba existenta; cine nu
risca sa construiasca ceva nou; cine nu vorbeste cu
oamenii pe care nu-i cunoaste.

Moare cate putin cine-si face din televiziune un guru.
Moare cate putin cine evita pasiunea, cine prefera
negrul pe alb si punctele pe "i" in locul unui
vartej de emotii, acele emotii care invata ochii sa staluceasca,
oftatul sa surada si care elibereaza sentimentele inimii.

Moare cate putin cine nu pleaca atunci cand este
nefericit in lucrul sau; cine
nu risca certul pentru incert pentru a-si indeplini un vis; cine
nu-si permite macar o data in viata sa nu asculte sfaturile
"responsabile". Moare cate putin cine nu calatoreste; cine nu
citeste; cine nu asculta muzica; cine nu cauta harul din el insusi.

Moare cate putin cine-si distruge dragostea; cine nu se lasa ajutat
Moare cate putin cine-si petrece zilele plangandu-si de mila si
detestand ploaia care nu mai inceteaza. Moare cate putin cine
abandoneaza un proiect inainte de a-l fi inceput; cine nu intreaba
de frica sa nu se faca de ras si cine nu raspunde chiar daca
cunoaste intrebarea. Evitam moartea cate putin, amintindu-ne
intotdeauna ca "a fi viu" cere un efort mult mai mare decat simplul
fapt de a respira.
