She was made of stone,
Grey and bleak, but the world gave her colours.
She became elegant and beautiful.
Her younger days were filled with laughter,
that echoed through her walls.
People visited, not just to see,
But to gather in her embrace.
As she grew, she gave her stage for people to raise their voices and call out to the world.
Some voices forced power,
while others yearned for justice.
She listend to them all,
with patience, without judgements
As years passed, she began to age,
The brightest of her walls slowly began to fade,
wrinkles here and there.
Yet she survived,
welcoming the younger ones,
teaching them how to move with music,
offering them a safe place to be,
and a sound space for growth.
She saw generations bloom,
and slowly drift away.
All of them came to her, took from her,
And finally left her.
Yet she held no sorrow.
But time….Got to her,
she grew quiet, day by day.
Fewer people came, fewer voices heard.
The laughter that once echoed through her walls slowly faded.
By the end she wept alone in the rain,
and yet no one came.
Now, only the wind visits her.
She sat there alone,
abandoned by her own,
cracked and forgotten.
But she is waiting, always waiting for someone,
who could bring her back to life,
to feel once again what it means to be full of life,
for one last time.

Verlust von physischen Treffpunkten
Der Verlust von analogen Treffpunkten, also den klassischen Orten der sozialen Interaktion, schließt Menschen aus der Gesellschaft aus und kann zur Einsamkeit führen. Das ist die ideale Grundlage für rechtspopulistische Propaganda und auch für Verschwörungstheorien. Wer Unterstützungen sozial schwacher und kultureller Gesellschaftsstrukturen kürzt, schafft die Demokratie direkt ab. Ein stabiles demokratisches System hängt von sozialer und kultureller Integration ab. Wenn Menschen sich entfremdet oder abgehängt fühlen, sinkt die Bereitschaft, sich konstruktiv in die Gesellschaft einzubringen.
