they say our body is 70% water <br />just like earth, <br />that means.... <br />the still, clear water reflects <br />the clarity and pureness of everything <br />a turbulent water <br />reflects the turmoil in our thoughts <br />a rising tsunami, to wash away <br />The helpless earth <br />crying.... <br />for mercy, for understanding… <br />for humans to realize - lust, greed, anger, war <br />gets them nowhere, but to pain and misery <br />Clean of the ignorance, war, suffering of the few <br />- ease the rebuilding, renewal of ideals <br />The final ones that are left, to pick up the pieces; <br />Will they learn from the water? <br />Will they calm their minds? and allow the water to remain still? <br />Or will they fall into a trap, of their own making?<br /><br />hema thasapalan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-reflections-on-water/
