Human Life
Listen, so you hear
the whisper of the peer
Listen, so you hear
me telling of my fears
Listen, do you hear
the cry of a bawling child
Listen, do you hear
the caresses of the stripling
Can you hear?
Are we truly deaf?
perhaps
the populace
become stone deaf
to others' sufferings
the marionettes
sway in the breeze
can you see?
The flowers bloom alluringly with a heavy incense
that hangs in the air
can you smell?
Savor all the rest
Cast out the rest
yet, miss out on the rest.
Life
Death
Hate
Love
Do we feel?
