When one orgasms, the Earth craves a cigarette.Look carefully,these animals are beauty spots that make the Earth’s face lovelier and more loveable.These oceans are the Earth’s limpid eyes. These trees, its hair.This is an ode to life.The anthem of the world.I will no longer speak of differences, for the similaritiesare larger. Look even closer. There may bedistances between our limbs butthere are no spaces betweenour hearts. We long to be one.We long to be in nature andto run wild with its wildlife.Let us celebrate life and living, for it is sacrilegious to be ungrateful.Let us play and be playful, for it is sacrilegiousto be serious.Let us celebrate imperfectionsand make existenceproud of us, for tomorrow isdeath, and this is an ode to life. The anthem of the world.","author":"Kamand Kojouri","tags":["anguish","animals","anthem","appreciate","beautiful","beauty","beloved","billion","bodies","body","celebrate","celebration-poems","chest","cigarette","city","closer","cosmic","country","death","differences","distance","dust","earth","existence","eyes","grateful","hair","harmony","howl","humanity","humans","imperfections","joy","kamand","kamand-kojouri","kill","kojouri","life","life-poems","limbs","listen","live","living","look","love","loveable","lovelier","lover","misery","nation","nature","now","oceans","ode","one-world","oneness","organs","orgasm","pang","peace","peacefulness","people","person","play","playful","present","proud","sacrilege","sacrilegious","seas","serious","seriousness","shine","similarities","sky","space","spiritual","spirituality","spot","stars","suffer","suffering","today","togetherness","tomorrow","trees","unappreciative","ungrateful","union","united","unity","wild","wildlife","world"],"id":147072,"author_id":"Kamand+Kojouri"},{"text":"I AM AN INDIAN,LIKE OTHER BILLION,HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY,HOPE TO FIND A GOOD WAY,WHERE THOUGHTS DIVINITY,IS NOT IN INFINITY,ITS UR LIBERTY.","author":"merlin8thomas","tags":["billion","indian","infinity","liberty","other","republic"],"id":173061,"author_id":"merlin8thomas"},{"text":"There are billions of people in this world that don’t believe or act exactly as we do.
