Yes, I’d Cheer for Life Too (Excerpt)
Yes, I'd cheer for life too but the song of myself
would not have been like the one sung,
from the other side of the Pacific,
almost two centuries ago.
I have never witnessed the horror of a war
first hand, nor laid my eyes on famine's brutal face,
scourging through the humble populace,
I have only seen them on those news clips,
catered for the audience and compatible
with the visions and skeletons as well
of the illustrious owners in the board
and I shall never feign that I know how it feels.
