Analysis of Crossing Boundaries, Chasing Progress
Crossing Boundaries, Chasing Progress
By: Nicomedes S. Lumontad
Advancements in technology, business, and pedagogy
speak loudly,
Millions are eager to cling to its plethora of initiatives
and successes.
Embassies of the US showcase visa applicants’ sweats
and desires.
Reminiscing the perpetual American influence for a
better life,
Inviting the eager and the desperate to move for their
gain.
Cultural shocks weave mental and emotional tremors,
Antagonistic feelings on foreign routines are chewed
and digested,
Novel experiences wrestle with one’s mindset and
landscape.
Dictates and dimensions of freedom and opportunity
are resounding.
Reliance to the One, of oneself, and others is a 24/7
undertaking.
Excellence in one’s profession is shaped by time, effort,
and pay.
Acquiring the almighty US dollars remains the slogan
and reality.
Making the significant others be free from the grip of
penury.
