Having a Coke with You
I'm not kind of person who loves poetry.
But when I heard this poem for the first time, I find it sounds very beautiful.
But when I heard this poem for the first time, I find it sounds very beautiful.
Having a Coke with You by Frank O'Hara
Having a coke with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian,Irun, Hendaye, Biarrity, Bayyone or being sick to my stomach
On the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
Partly because in you orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
Partly because of my love for you,
Partly because of your love for yogurt
Partly because of your flourescent orange tulips around the birches
Partly because of the secrecy of our smiles
Take on before people and statuary
It is hard to believe when I'm with you
That there can be anything as still
As solemn as unpleasantly definitive
As statuary when right in front of it

It is hard to believe when I'm with you
That there can be anything as still

W.A.R
War, three letters that can doom the world. War has been written in the history of human race, since the ancient year to the dark age, even in the modern day.
Don't know what we, human, seek in the war and hates. One thing for sure, there is never a victory in a war. No one and no nation ever won a war. Some do survive, but at all cost.
More people die and suffer in the war. Unfortunately, the most die are innocent people, those who are so unfortunate and happen to be caught up in the wrath of evil bands consumed by greed and burned in hatred. They neither even know what started the war nor they know what the war is fighting for. These innocent people always suffer the most in the war.
For centuries, human has developed weapon to defend themselves, their land, their race, and their territory. It began from as simple as a spear, to gun, to warhead, and finally nuclear weapon. All are developed in the name of self defense, to protect their people and to defend their nation from every threat.
Is weapon the only way to guarantee the safety and peace of our home country?
Why can't we defend our nation with trust, respect, tolerance, kindness, care and love? We will not need any kind of weaponry if everyone of us have them all.
Hate, violence, and and vengeance never bring peace. They only promise destruction, lost, and sorrow.
Peace.
