A little poem about the world we live in. |
From Where I Am From where I am standing.. Up here on this mountain.. The green land looks as beautiful as the blue sky And the rivers look as calm as the white clouds From where I am standing.. Up here on this mountain.. The forests look as peaceful as the shining stars And the sea looks as endless as the atmosphere Cannot tell the difference.. Whether trees are falling for replantation or exploitation Whether animals are dying because of the process of food-chain or extinction Whether human beings’arms are reaching out in shaking hands or hurting each other It looks all the same.. When aircrafts are flying, whether dropping assistance or bombs When animals are screaming, whether sending alert of disaster or crying for help When human beings are speaking, whether holding together or blaming each other Down there.. Nothing is really the same.. Noone is really the same.. Every situation and destiny are tangled together But every life feels like they are unconnected to each other.. From where I am standing.. Up here on this mountain.. Everything looks the same.. Everything looks peaceful, calm and endless.. From where I am standing.. Up here on this mountain.. I am wishing that one day, someday.. Everything will be as peaceful as it is seen from up here where I am standing.. -21 December 2007- |
