Sonnet 051

If life’s purpose is to chase and dive into love
Then why we in opposite direction ourselves find?
What other mighty forces gravitate us
Steer our ship away from right course?
Time and time we leave our home
Swallow our sobs to make that choice
Families and families are torn apart
So to piece their best hopes complete
We are so troubled and hopeless
All our languages tell a same story
The generations, the nations, the people
Are all on board, alone stare at the vast sea
There’s a hungry beast live in us
It devours us, also chases us
