Crushing the World
There is a small globe in my bedroom
varied with mountains, seas and deadly deserts
Constructed by fantastic sciences and life,
it is beautiful because we are on it.
I gently put my palm on the glowing globe,
thumb on where you are, pinky on where I am.
I miss you, we are just five fingers away,
7000 miles to our dismay.
I wanted to touch the globe more, but too scared
of the mass destruction I would make.
One palm is powerful enough to crush the world.
I can generate typhoons
in a breath, tap the Himalayas
with an 8.0 earthquake, spin the globe
to see if anyone is dizzy
I can be the destroyer of earth’s life.
One thing is keeping me from doing so.
When I look at the globe, I remember that I am on it
The laughter I made, the tears I shed
The crazy moments we had are all on it.
I used to think we are all stuck in this globe, stuck by its forces,
Not realizing generosity of life spoiled me to think I deserve it
Only that I do not deserve it and now
I am playing the world like a toy.
Then I calm down, and murmured:
Why crush the world?
I love this world.

This is my praise on the luxuries given by Earth. Let's love this planet and protect it!
I used to think negatively about live on earth. I guess I am simply spoiled.
