Look Up by Scott Qu

Look Up!

Those people on their smartphones or any devices

This world simply needs more warmth to acquire blissfulness

We all use social media to be part of this society

Yet, we become careless about our morality

We shut the doors and leave the people around us alone

Then, we face the over-heated screen on our own

Look Up!

People on the bus and the skytrian

These places have turned so quite and that’s insane

Because all of them are looking down at their phones

We all want to be appreciative and friendly

Yet, we ignore the people and the beauty

Staring at the phone

We don’t care what’s happening around us

Look Around!

The Social that was created to link people together

Is just the opposite

People seat still in public

Children’s ability to communicate is diminishing

Because technologies dominate part of their lives

Talk to One Another!

Look up and enjoy every moment

Be with friends

Forget about your smartphones and computers

Appreciate this wonderful world

A Poem Is...

            Slowly drifting, drifting away

            It’s the waves.

            Only at the right moment

            You can surf unstoppably;

            Only when whim exists within your body

            You can write a poem.

            It’s a savoury appetizer

            Not much,

            But good enough for you to be content

            Although short, a poem is able to make one satisfied

            And to think profoundly

            It’s an abstract painting       

            Which has many different hidden meanings beneath the surface

            There is something new every time you look at it

            Everyone has different views towards it

            Like one does to a poem

            So there is a new meaning every time you read it

            You write poems to express

            You read poems to appreciate

            With a simple poem
            Life can be changed
