Luxury


Luxury
by Laijon Liu 20130129

Luxury is to own a piece of promised land:
a green pasture, a few silver streams
cattle grazing and roaming
pets chasing rabbits in dense woods
waterfowls floating and fishing at easy

rainbow hanging in soft rain
sunset beyond orange wheatfield
golden ripples stirred by autumn wind
and our children sitting on their hilltop
with pleasure and assurance

Note:
I recently watched a very good film, Promised Land. I think this film should be the best film of the year, because it’s topic. It asks me What’s Really Important. We live on our land, we can gamble our pocket, we can earn it back, we put our love or wife or husband on the betting table, we break some hearts and maybe we can change name move to another city meet someone new, but if we risk our land, we may lose everything. And Earth, this complex sumptuous natural balanced environment is slowly developed thru million years.
