Poetry in Humankind; Dead Poets Society
Damsel Salatan 1997 (Philippines)
We are members of human race
filled with passion in terms of
Reading and writing poetry—
The noble pursuits such as
Law, Business, Medicine, Engineering
are all necessary to sustain human lives;
But the beauty of poetry itself,
The love and romance,
Are what we stay alive for.
Whitman said,
"O me, o life of the questions
of these recurring,
of the endless trains of the faithless,
of cities filled with the foolish."
The life exists, and here you are now—
That powerful play goes on,
your life and identity
may contribute to a verse;
Regardless of what they say,
Your words and ideas can change
the world.
Having a great need
of acceptance in ourselves;
We must be able to trust
that thy beliefs are pure,
unique, and inspiring.
Although others may think
them weird or baffling.
When you know and
When you think about something,
Stand upon your desk,
Remind yourself everyday,
You must constantly look
at things in a different way.
Robert Frost once said,
"Two roads diverged in the wood and I,
took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
We are part of what comes after
and everything that came before;
We can change the direction of our lives.
We exist in a field of infinite possibilities.
It's all in our hands, and our minds.
We must to strive our own voice;
The longer we wait to begin,
The less likely we are to find it at all.
Carpe diem.
Seize the day.
Make your lives extraordinary.
