if you bump into a soul <br />never raise the word 'death' <br />for it is taboo to the other world <br />it's something fashioned for men <br />to put them in their place <br />for having tried to be God <br />to put them not only in their knees <br />but their head, back, torsos in one line <br />and lower than the ground <br />if you bump into a soul <br />just be quiet and look into his eyes <br />and - that's enough <br />for he is as different to you <br />as a butterfly is to a larvae <br />one crawls and eats <br />the other fully garbed <br />to blaze through the other world <br />if you meet a soul <br />just be quiet and let him roam where he wishes <br />for you and the soul are two entities <br />as different as the sun is to the moon <br />one warm and the other cold <br />and if you wish to know more <br />ask for the favours of God<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-bump-into-a-soul/
