Rest in Pieces

Rest in Pieces

I want to lie on a field full of green, green grass, breathe fresh, pure air, feel the chill of the breeze, see the sky change, observe the birds fly, smell the scent of flowers, hear sweet music, hug trees, think of nothing… There is only little chance for me to do that. Seeing those disorder and crimes almost everywhere makes me want to just confine myself in the comfort of the four walls of my room. In here, I could look around seeing the whiteness of the wall and the posters and the special notes I taped on the wall; there is nothing to worry about.

The moment I open my door and step out, there comes confusion and turbulence. My senses could not rest. I see crimes in television, hear gossips and bad news, smell trouble around, taste hatred on my tongue and feel fear inside me. My innocence is already stained of blood. God, help me…

When can the world let me rest completely? Or will it continue to let me rest in pieces? We all say that we, humans, are still the last hope of the world, but what are we doing to change it and its bad ways? NOTHING or very little effort. Everyone needs metanoia- conversion of heart and mind.

…And if flowers of all kinds grow and flourish together, what a wonderful garden God has.

All I see is... well.. jibberish...

What the heck are you babbling about?

Because I like to die peacefully... without agony. :wink:

Beautifully written. I too wish for such simplicity of just laying down in sweet grace and pick flowers and sit under a shady tree with peaceful wind making the hot spring day a bit lighter and be freed from responsibilty and turmoil aruond me.

But too bad this world is slowly changing to where these places are quite hard to find. Most perspectives woul say that, no, there will never be the peace I seek for the world but just because I can't influence peace amongst the entire and constantly changing world, I will seek peace in myself...and thats all I really need for now.^__________^

i have a really wierd thought about things. if we all did things like the native americans did them before anyone but them lived on the american continent then i think that there wouldnt be pollution and sickness and stuff.

[Sabashii Oni Dreamer]

I can still do that. I go outside everyday and sit in my favorite tree, and just let all of my bad thoughts wash away. I clean my mind and rest my soul for a new day. I usually watch the sunset, it feels so good just to let go of your worries, even just for an instant.

Life in my country sucks...

always pollution everywhere, work really hard for money....

[Sabashii Oni Dreamer]

Really? My place is kinda peaceful. You can watch the roads at night as cars pass by and the only noise is the soft rain hitting the treetops. Fresh air, big starry night sky...It lights up the whole town.

[Elandili_Ohtar]

If only rain of pollution is possible...
Maybe I am dead by now...

[DistantSamurai]

lol so you are a poetic speaker...well then i shall join you.

Rains of pollution isn't the rose of the garden
Hope and faith will forever bud from underneath
and make the garden lovelier with prescence
rather then appearance.

Ah, how the youth can write so vividly while we live in such a day and age..Even with the changing of the times, everyone still has these aspirations and the like. The poet, the dreamer, the philosopher. Melded into one, it seems, neh? Your negative outlook truly is a thing not to be entirely fond of, although you seem to have a decent way of expressing it. With the troubles and problems of the world comes solutions and progress in solutions from those of more noble heart, whether they be participating in the most popular of causes or merely spreading joy to those within their reach. You've got to really alter your outlook if you expect anything out of this race. Although the angst can often distort into amazing works of poetry and literature, it does nothing to help the cause you speak of. We base the world on our personal perceptions my friend, so, if I may regress into my youthful days and be incredibly cliche: Turn that frown upside down. The world needs more smiles. ^_^

Aahhh... To lie in a field of green, with not a care in the world.
All I can do here is lie on cold concrete and listen to the "soothing" sounds of an industrial area (the wharf) where someone somewhere (at least once a week) gets injured at work or squashed under a container... Aaahhhhhh... :roll:
Bliss.....










...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Elandili_Ohtar]

A smile is worth a thousand words...

You cannot expect a smile etched on y face...
At this young age, I feel like an adult...
I know so many things and worry about so many things that someone at the age of mine should not be thinking of...

This life I have is so hard that I really wanted a day off of this. :cry:

[Kouketsu]

Even with so many worries present in our ever-fluctuating perspective of this world, we should still devote time to the more positive nature of everything, which is what you should strive towards. Even adults have their positivity and fun, and have learned to live with many of their worries. Although this may come from life experience and their personal moral values, it delivers well-deserved and well-needed positive environments (Which I personally believe is the key to solving all this depression and apathy).

Just try as best you can to balance out the worries you constantly have with the positivity that can come from the youth you have remaining. The time you have right now is where you experience and learn things to use much later on in life, so use this time wisely and to the best of your ability. I mean, you've got at least a good four or five years left before you need worry about any of this. And by that time, you'll have your moral values and everything straightened out, which means an even brighter future for yourself.

And smiles distribute positive feelings and environments to all those who view them, so in earnest, I beg you to give it a try. ^_^

And although this may be ending on a rather negative note, to quote the great Greg Graffin of Bad Religion: "The Questions that besiege us in life are testament of our helplessness. What this pretty much means (By my interpretation) is that although we think we can do so much, we can only do as much as we can handle. Don't lift the weight of the world onto your own shoulders yet, especially at that age.

Great words Kouketsu, really great. I just hope that I have a way of thinking like you... But I am really different...
