20200505 Crises
Solvere (Singapore)
Crises come
Crises that are so overwhelming
We, cannot run away
We must endure in silence?
We must submit, surrender?
No, this is not the way we live
We even facing severe crises
even cannot run away from crises
we faced them, overcame them
But Crises are so unpredictable
The forces are so overwhelming
Overcome crises, possible?
Over thousands of years
We unite ourselves
We invented languages
Integrating us together
Record, propagate our experiences
We keep inventing tools
Faster communication, transportation
Organize, mobilize our people, resources
When crises hit, we are there, fastest
We are able people We do not blame others
We are able people Put our abilities only on the important
Resolve the crises
Secure, Improve our lives
We are not cowboys shooting without feeling sorry
We are not hermits building walls around ourselves
and hope that crisis
crises will not climb over the wall
We seek to understand the laws of nature
wisely apply forces of nature
carefully, step by step
analyse, mitigate, resolve the immense forces coming at us
no matter how immense it comes may
earth shaking quakes
roaring gushing water
invisible viruses
shall be overcome by us
We the people united
using wisdom cumulated
We are not seeking higher than the sky
We merely applying forces of nature
We are not occupying others’ land
We unite everyone on land all over
This is not a dream
This is not a movie, sci-fi
This is a method, the method
Understand and respect nature
Using forces of nature
Uniting people
regardless of parties, beliefs, nations
This is the way, the only way to secure
peace
prosperity
happiness
Working with nature
Uniting people
All crises will be overcome
Setbacks, failures, sacrifices may
Overcome, we definitely will
Crises
Keep us always on the guards
Hone us to be wise and able
Uniting us to be ready for whatever
whatever, whenever, however
Surely, surely
peaceful, beautiful world will become
Healthier, Happier will the people be
We can finally call ourselves…. Civilized！
