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":"As much as we don’t want to except it, there is a time limit to the best life God tries to offer you. When you disrespect it, push it away, play games with it, deny it, ignore it, are casually indecisive about it or hold it like a last resort, God gives it away to someone else that will cherish it more.","author":"Shannon L.

I do so much for it to be comfortable, and still, it repays me by throwing tantrums left and right. As soon as I think it's time for a present due to all my efforts, I get repaid with ingratitude.
