What happens to the mind,
When one floats above the Earth,
Witnessing our mother’s magnanimous beauty?
When does her beauty overcome,
the boundaries of human-made geographical lines?
What does it feel like to be free
From the politics of patriotic existence?
-These concepts that cloud the brains of us tiny people down here.
Our Lilliput minds.
What does it feel like,
To float in space and realise,
That we never listen to
Our mother’s pleas?
What does it take to realise that she continues to forgive?
-paying the price of bleeding from within.
As our lilliput nations continue to hug,
Submerge themselves in political fantasies-
Fantasies of power,
Destruction,
Greed-
How much longer
Should our mother whimper,
Sob in silence, while she continues to stand
For us?
How much longer?
