"As I Sat Over…"

As I sat on the heavenly mountain of life,
I could still hear the evil devil;

As I sat on the evil mountain of death,
I could still see all that was good in the huge world;

As I sat over the giving people,
I could still hear the cry of those in hunger;

As I sat over the greedy people,
I could still feel the pride of the generous givers;

As I sat over the peaceful fishes,
I could still see the terrorizing fishers;

As I sat over the killer sharks,
I could still feel the pain of those who cared for the fishes;

As I sat under the helpless birds,
I could still see what was once their air crowded by killer pollution;

As I sat under the brown clouds of smoke,
I could still feel the clean air;

As I sat over the wondrous trees,
I could still hear the sounds of deadly humans killing their families;

As I sat over the greedy humans,
I could still smell the freshness of the world without them;

As I sat over the confused deer,
I could still smell the flowers that wee there before the buildings;

As I sat over the trashy buildings,
I could still hear the animals joy when they had their own land;

As I sat over the beautiful forests,
I could still feel the shocking blasts when trees were knocked down;

As I sat over the modernized city,
I could still hear the chirping of the birds when they had a home;

As I sat over this marked city,
I could still see, smell, feel, and hear what was once there...

And all the good and bad that has come of it.
