The bells are tolling...
As they will for everybody
And it's what you do
In that short time before they toll..
Did you help people
Did you hurt them
Did you do both maybe
What do you leave behind
How did you live
All for such a short short time
For s r Nathan
6th and longest serving president of Singapore
We call him the people's president.
The first Indian president of a Chinese majority country
A hero who sacrificed himself to negotiate release of hostages
Graced so any cultural performances with the president s presence.
Humble.
Rise of a humble man.
To see him
Lines.
Army.
Police.
Ministry of foreign affairs .
Students
And me...
A man just fainted
Why am I here
Not a statement I'm making.
No need to
Not post on fb
This is personal.
I only do it for people I feel I want to that I feel I should.
And so I'm here
A street strewn with leaves
Loss
Passing of time
Rebirth and growth
Lky
Nathan
A boy covered in the rubble that was his house
That is the life of so many children and adults in today's world.
Progress has brought on more destruction
We used to die by disease
Now we die by killing
We celebrate sporting victories
We play pokemon
Even as
Countries flood out and die
People kill each other
Children grow up parentless and turn rebels
It's sad it's bewildering it's incomprehensible it's cyclic
It's destined in some strange way
Ah how to say this.
This young man pursued his dream and brought glory to his country in the process's
The Singapore flag flew high on the world stage as he won gold in a much anticipated race that the whole world was watching.
For he was racing against Michael Phelps. Golden boy of Olympics. Olympian of the world for having 22 gold medals by then. The most anyone has ever had in the history of the Olympics.
Schooling beat him . He won Phelps his childhood idol, his inspiration. He broke the Olympic record. He neat here of the world's best butterflies who... get this... got a three way historic tie for silver!!!! Just breathtaking and mind boggling.
And Singapore has a champion
It's so moving it's incredible.
I pray for him. So much world and media attention. He needs to focus and stay humble and not let his get to his head. I say it out of kindness not malice. He's young sweet and holding on to a world of expectations. God be with him always!
Pokeman go has changed the world as we know it. Virtual reality and reality have now blended seamlessly. And the person next to me can see something I can't. He can take a picture of it too. He could even take a picture of it right next to me and I won't be able to see it. But I can see if if he sends the image to me. I can see myself next to it! It's ... wow. .. it's. .. shifting paradigms totally.
If you see it and take a picture of it and it appears before you is it real? Am I real if I'm next to it? Mark this date people august 2016. The day he world changed.
