Well it's only a couple of days till I leave Hong Kong. I really don't know how to feel about that. I love Hong Kong, for the places, the media, pretty much everything. But I also miss my friends and family in Canada. I know I'm gonna miss HK and the people here too... *sigh* oh well :p Joey Yung Concert the night before I leave. ^_^ SWEET!!!! I've been waiting to go to one for ages.. yet every time I come to HK I've either missed it or will miss it because I leave before it starts. That and I haven't come to HK in a long time :p but hey, home soon!!!

Silence

The silence of the City
            not the physical.
                        It suffocates me
            Not the only silence
A silence of the unfeeling heart
It is
            the silence that will not shatter
                    not by voices of friends or family
            A silence that maims me
                    the paralysis of silence is
            a silence that needs to hear
                        the slightest of whispers
                                        yet there is none
                                                            None that I can grasp
                                        Is this the need for God?

*This is the first thing I've written in a long time... i feel so rusty at it yet this rustiness and unpolished quality is what I personally love about this poem.*

This poem has not been edited as I feel that the roughness adds to the feelings that I have for it. I know that poems such as this can be looked at in many different ways and perhaps is similar to many other poems out there. For me this poem has a few meanings but the primary reason and perhaps inspiration comes from my perception of Society whether it be in Hong Kong or Canada or well pretty much anywhere in the world. I was inspired to write this while looking down towards the more industrial part of Hong Kong in the lower slopes of where I'm currently living. I hear so much noise, the noise of cars and buses, the noise from the people promoting the company they work for and even the noise of speech coming from the swearing bus-rider. Its a noise that carries no meaning, a noise that speaks only of the degeneration of Humanity as commercialism and personal gain become the primary reason for living. The want for the latest gadgets or the newest style in clothing (something that I'm quite guilty of myself.) In this noise I hear nothing and its scary. As if I'm stuck in a dark room with no escape, no one here, no sound, no music, no joy, no passion for living. I'm drawn to believe that because everyone is a part of this commercial monster that no one can save me. During that one moment of staring down towards parts of Hong Kong this is what floods my mind. It brings to me a fear that no one can calm. And then I think, perhaps this is what it means to need God in my life. Perhaps its this silence, this horrible and horrifying silence is what it means to not feel God, not have God in my heart. And so as quickly as this thought comes to mind I write. Not only because its something I want to write but because it's something I feel I must, absolutely need to write. And for those of you who are still reading, I must ask you. Do you feel this too?

Money is not everything

with money you can buy a house

But not a home

with money you can buy a clock

But not time

with money you can buy a position

But not respect

with money you can buy a bed

But not sleep

with money you can buy a book

But not knowledge

with money you can buy medicine

But not health

with money you can buy blood

But not life

So you see money isn't everything

And it often causes pain and suffering

I tell you this because I

am your friend

And as your friend I want to

Take away your pain and suffering!!

So

Send me all your money

And I will suffer for you!

Cash only please :p

Some of you may be thinking "Glitter?!?!" well I'll tell you, it's really nice glitter and a really nice shirt, don't go thinking it's "gay"(not that I have anything against people who have that sexual preference) or whatnot, it's the new Fob fashion sense I've acquired :p.
