bayon smiles <br />from high up <br />a thousand year old smile <br />frozen through the ages <br />in the forests <br />snarled, overgrown <br />with shrubs, ferns <br />to finally emerge to <br />smile again - triumphantly <br /> <br />thank god, for the dim years <br />the forest, has saved you <br />from marauding thais, champs <br />burmese, colonialists and world war criminals <br /> <br />bayon, smile, smile and smile to the world <br />from all the angles.<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/travel-cambodia-poem-the-bayon-smiles/
