Dearie Friend

A Poem by : Neena Wrights

How glad I am,

How great indeed,

This in life to have you as friend.

Just exactly how...

shall I impart this warmth to you?

O' alas, more's the pity

Ocean, cosmic ocean, aye separates us,

then land is vast, so I, poor I,

look upon the sky, "Thou may be far,

while I is here, let us keep in mind:

I see the same such lovely sky,

the sky that You always see."

Oh such dearie,

such friendly friend, I shall make it clear:

"By mine eyes and by mine ears I swear,

to you my care will never die,

to you my love will never end.

My friend, my dearest friend."

Hence, my dearie friend,

hearken as I say,

"Friendship lasts forever."

Shall it comes to You and I.

Aye, my Dearie Friend.

The Techno City

Genre: Science Fiction, Humor

The sky is wide and blue. Bright and colored lights are everywhere. It is peaceful but the atmosphere they breathe is something their noses could not deny to smell—contaminated. There is no traffic in the air, but cars are hovering non-stop over the buildings. Some are small, some are big and tall.

In the epicenter of the Techno City there stood the largest building, but no, it is not just a building. It is the palace of the Elite Government. The Techno Tower.

Billboards overpowered the banners. Foods are not naturally made. Everything is man-made, artificial, or if there is something beyond that.


There is no such thing as NATURE. Children cannot even define the word, people do not know it. They believed that a place like nature is just a legend. They only know the world they currently see – the exceptional technology of the Techno City, ruled by an extraordinary genius man named Mr. Zan Von Duor...a ruler that is unseen by everyone.

I Will Lead Them Home

There were two kids I saw when we were going down from the mountain during our tree planting...They were sitting on the cement and their eyes were curious and wide. I met the girl's eyes and somehow her eyes were feeling shy but sad, so without no doubt I went to them. My heart is always close to children...not only because I have younger siblings but also because children are very precious. 

I talked to them. But they were feeling shy. To them I was a total stranger. I do understand that feeling anyway. But to me, they made my exhausting adventure on top of the mountain very special on that tiring day. I do think they're cute. I love them. I love those who are specially sad and afraid. I'm so happy and thankful to the persons who took this photo, Kristel and Senz.

Their place was very far, not to mention that it was very hard and exhausting just to get there. I don't know if I would be able to go back there once again, since it was very hard for me to climb on that mountain...but then...I wish to see these two kids for once again. And I hope that when that happens, they will be able to SMILE back at me. 

Father, we will lead them home.....
