I Have Touched The World -- The Traveling Poem
Traveling has been a hobby for Lord, besides work and freelancing. We have witnessed history in vivid moments that at times were about to take our lives. But we knew life is one and we took our trips with pride. This piece of inspiration came as an answer to our own call. A call to show our friends why Lord is the way he is.
We have been lucky to find HubPages and make a home of it. So many were there for Lord to send messages of appreciation and quick editing when they knew it was needed. Now this is a piece that shows the world as we saw it. Been lucky enough to travel as you can tell. Now I share these words that are not written anywhere else.
I HAVE TOUCHED THE WORLD
I have touched the world literally
have traveled abroad and seen it all
more than anything I have seen
a beautiful creation
I have been around and traveled for fun
seen the poor and seen the rich
have talked to both and some are unique
have been busy and heard of unheard clans
Argentina was special, lots of beef and chicks
with curbs you wouldn't believe
Buenos Aires was there with tango and its flare
Santa Fe was in my heart
but Marina broke it apart
Macchu Picchu was higher that heavens
the ruins were there to show its wonders
Peru has its food, oh lord appetizers galore
conquistadors fell in love and stayed
for the gold and more
Colombia had its women
dancing with innate rhythm
to a salsa and moves so unforgiven
that kept us hostage to an incoming
attack that was so deceiving
Bogota kept some of our feelings
and promised to come back for those
mirrors on the ceilings
Mexico was abruptly crowded
with people of all backgrounds
zetas hiding underground
and the rest waiting for a blow
unexpectedly showing its might and
message to the unknown
but don't get me wrong
innocent people were caught between
crossing fires and unexpectedly gone
I have touched the world as you see
speaking Spanish like any of them
I have felt their needs adventures
and passions from within
I have seen them cry
like any of us, in deep despair
when rain brought down their
houses like a tornado which leaves nothing behind
I have seen them smile
when they knew there was tomorrow
to harvest their hopes and carry home
a piece of bread to their own child
I have been lucky enough to see them dream
succeed and shake my hands when it was time to fly
I have witnessed their lives coming together
like a torrent of love that has no explanation whatsoever
I have seen them from the sky as my plane took a flight
they were there for me and here as I write
humankind like any famous person on TV
no money but a crop to share with you and me
I have been there and felt better afterwards
I'm not the only one crazy
chasing dreams going down the hills
holding a kite and letting our dreams take flight
I have touched the world and that made up
for the losses down Wall st.
Hong Kong and Singapore
I have touched the world
because deep inside
I think I was an angel before....
