Click hereIn silence we hide
the things everyone must know1
but we refuse to accept
without a fight
we will not be pushed down
forced into mundaneness
our hearts know secrets
share in hushed voices
dreams, hopes and destinies
we have just now glimpsed
as we peak above the surface
from mankind’s murky existence
to achieve the extraordinary
escape from triviality is essential
with apprehensive anticipation
we begin moving with caution
through black water disturbing creatures
that lie waiting below2

Tung, this is one of the most empowering poems I have ever read. I have put this into my favorites. This is a poem that could be put on a poster with a person climbing a mountain or one of those kinds of inspirational posters (you know what I mean). It was, to me, that dayum good. It read like a mental call to arms. Excellent. Absoulutely excellent.
very deep poem~
had to read it a couple times
to get where you were going with this?
very witty and thought out...
