I wish I could write
the history of the inner lives
of humans’ conditions—
hidden motivations
and deep-seated intentions.
Life appears outside,
creating an illusion,
never affirm complete truths and ultimate revelations.
Headwaters
and the course the river takes
decide its taste.
Seabed causes—
the waves and the currents on the surface
and not the stone pellets always.
Never let your potential
and the strength of conscience
compromise and die,
to keep your head high.
You never know the reason
for pale and withered leaves
until you examine the roots and seeds.
