Always complaining
Always saying ‘poor me!’ ‘poor me’
When are you going to look at yourself?
When are you going to stop looking at yourself?
My ears are tired of your ‘poor me’ stories
My eyes are tired of looking at the same posture again
Spin yourself
Retell your story
Re-view yourself
Make me surprise
Make me hopeful again
Make me believe in resiliency of human race
Do something!

My image of you is
a bird with immature wings
A beautiful bird
with delightful songs
But
You don’t fly
don’t experience the world
don’t spin in the air!
You are static
sit in one place
see from one angle
even your songs are becoming predictable!
Not sure for how long your image will last in my mind
Fly and change my view!

Miss you, Nature!
Feeling far away from you…
Why?
Why did I feel disconnected
From you, Who defines my existence?
Miss you, Nature
Miss you in my backyard
in my garden
in the park
My backyard is changed to a concrete platform
My garden is a parking lot
My park is getting smaller and smaller every day!
What happened?
When did we lose our focus?
I am disconnected from you!
Want you back to my life
Want to write again under your shade
Want to rest again with your presence
Miss you very much!
