I explored the Pacific Ocean at the age of twenty <br />met the bubbling ' ring of fire ' beneath <br /> <br />I visited Spratly Island somewhere in South China sea <br />to extend sovereign territorial integrity <br /> <br />A climb to Mt. Everest meant a lot to me <br />slept with glacier bears seen in discovery TV <br /> <br />I voyaged to Panama canal encountered Somali pirates <br />felt with trembling guns in a dark numb sea <br /> <br />I took camel ride at Sahara desert <br />conquered oasis of excitement upon touching down abundant oil spring <br /> <br />I moved to Mexico and fear not the swine virus would revenge back on me <br />I loved to eat their siblings, its holy grails and pork barbecue <br /> <br />On the heart of Mandalay Bay, I cheered up as boxing fan <br />Manny! Pacman! Bax! Fight for our country's pride <br /> <br />So my youth was spent above my quilt pillow <br />I always dreamed to move as I learned to grow <br /> <br />And gazing at the star, sight-seeing with the sky <br />My first journey step to explore the world free!<br /><br />Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/see-the-world-free-come-join-with-me/
