All Of My Life Poem by Jordan Legaspi
All Of My Life
All of my life
Ruin of youth head cannot see it
Distraction of dream
reason cannot feel it
Life in great mess no one can escape it
Dream today hope tomorrow,
but for whom?
None of us will come at high side
When he was alone
in the mountain side;
He climbed the tree for us
And raised our weary soul
guarded with sword;
Be these words be heard
tonight in the court
Addressed to all crying and dying;
Oh when can we understand!
Till the youth will all pass away?
And we all lost the long chance

City of Mati, Davao Oriental, Philippines.1997
The message is important, so many people especially the youths fail to embrace wisdom and waste their lives, and when it is late, they realise by that time, they should live their lives appropriately.
It is an abstract and metaphorical poem at the same time. The message of the poem is very clear, because we need this kind of meditation. Saving the soul is not possible at the last minute and if we waste our youth, later is very difficult. This mountain is practically the way to Heaven and it can not be boarded by very quickly. We need patience for this.Wonderful poem, very well written.......10++++++
