The Proverbs of Nature

The Proverbs of Nature

Collected by Salai Eagle

Write your hurts in the sand,

But curve your benefits in the stone(Anonymous)

Let your anger disappear when the sunset,

But let not your love never cease

The honey is bitter when you over eat,

But the honey gets sweeter when you taste it

A good husband is deaf

And a good wife is blind (said Michel de Montaigne)

But a blind lady broke a man's heart

Where love goes, wealth and success follow

But love without jealousy is counterfeit

The Desperate Life


Desperate Life: the cry of a refugee

by Salai Eagle

I sit under a tree,

stretch my arms and look at the sky.

I see twinkle little stars

A poem echoes in my ear

A poem in my child hood life


I long to see blue sky

I am eager to hear sweet

songs of birds

Why life is dark?

Why the path is full of thorns

Where is mercy and justice?

Days past in a small room

With worries, sadness and cries

A human being yet, a hidden one

A human being yet, a desperate one

Sometimes I prefer to die

But life is not my own

My mom told me..

"Baby you're gonna be a doctor,

you're gonna save others

you gonna help the needy"

But Mom…look at me now

Do you see me…mom..

I am the one who need those

I am the one who need help

Sorry, mom look at my tears and

hear my screaming…


I had never though about it

leaving my place, my dreams and beloved,

I become alien in the other land,

My ability and strength get deem

Having refuged in a wrong place

Where is bright morning

When will the sunshine araise..

and the birds sing...


(Note: Please don't cry when you read this poem, the poet had dropped lots of tear drops while composing it. Please start praying for the desperate refugees in the world)
