MONEY
I have always wanted to see
Himalayan meditation masters.
But I could never go there.
People work in factories and rice fields.
They look at the stars and think about others.
They love them but will never meet them.
LIFE
We should respect life.
Every snake, man and clam.
Try to breathe. As long as it’s
possible.
YOU AND ME
The only thing we have
on Earth. There is no one
else. Just you and me.
I’D LIKE
I would like to live happily
in the distant stars.
But the stars are too far away
from me.
