if god would allow <br />us to turn time backwards <br />we would see ourselves <br />rise from death <br />and run back to our <br />mother's wombs <br />and our mom to her mom's wombs <br />and christ who ascended to the heavens <br />would come down <br />go back to his tomb <br />his cross, jerusalem <br />and to bathlehem <br />if god would let us <br />turn the time backwards <br />and - live <br />there would be <br />so much of fun <br />tears would always run <br />till the eyes are dry <br />a lady's sparkling diamond <br />would always gather tons of mud <br />love letters would be written backward <br />and send back to pursuers <br />there is there is no death <br />to talk about as we all live till <br />we are back to a loving womb <br />and of course, we can be sure <br />the prophets are not lying <br />when they say the end is near <br /> <br />inspired by <br /> <br />As The Time Draws Nigh <br />AS the time draws nigh, glooming, a cloud, <br />A dread beyond, of I know not what, darkens me. <br />I shall go forth, <br />I shall traverse The States awhile-but I cannot tell whither or how <br />long; <br />Perhaps soon, some day or night while I am singing, my voice will <br />suddenly cease. <br />O book, O chants! must all then amount to but this? <br />Must we barely arrive at this beginning of us? ... And yet it is <br />enough, O soul! <br />O soul! we have positively appear'd-that is enough. <br />Walt Whitman<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/as-the-time-draws-nigh-2-2/
