This poem is based on my own observation in my place one lazy afternoon.
Like when you passed by on a flower garden
what if you can communicate to anyone or anything?
Like the dead underground lying on his coffin
you can ask him, "how it feels like down there?"
and he can answer, "duh, it’s never been better."


you flash a smile to all of them
as a responds to your greeting
the buds will bloom like they had just tastes the rain
some sway like the hands waving
not just because of the blows of the wind.


Like when you found a grass growing in your euphorbia
you can advise her, "it’s better if you go there in the forest".
Because the former you’d get hurt by its thorns many times and you developed a phobia
and add saying, "grass no one will disturb you there and surely you can rest.


Like when you’re pacing down the road and found very busy ants
one soldier ant calls you and says he wants to come along with you
you will let him climb from your foot and he can roam under your pants
and you came home and nothing bad happens between the two of you.


Like when the gecko sounds and it takes a while for him to stop
you can tell him, "you sound scary, please enough."
When you hear the frogs making noise begging for the rain to fall
you can ask the leader, "do you know the tunes of a song titled beautiful?"


Like when you see rats playing in the corner
you can tell them, "it would be nice if you play there in the park."
"You guys need sunlight so that you’ll grow fast and stronger."
Not here in our house, it’s bad to your health because it’s dark.
And they will just move while saying "whatever."


Like when you see a cockroach wandering on the floor
you can ask her one favor…
you tell her, "roach don’t urinate anywhere, okay."
and if you feels like you’re going to move, the cr is all yours
because you know your waste smells real stinky
here i am down on bended knee, sweetie.
And she answers, "I’ll do anything for you honey."


What if you can actually do that?
And everything is so close to you
and it’s just easy for them to understand
and they will behave the way you want them to
everything can be settled in your hand
but these would be possible only in God’s command.
