Fellow Readers,

On behalf of SJD, the Publication Core presents "Our Superior", our first posting for the month of October.  Look for a "love story" which will be released on the 15th.

Comments and Criticism:  Here's a line from our fellow Pubbers about this piece.  Deaune Khamvongsa wrote,

"Your poem is delightful but scary in a sense that one has the power to create and destroy."

Enjoy the reading and please share your comments/criticism/suggestions with all of our members.

Haak Hpang,
Toon

Our Superior
By Toon Souksada Phapphayboun

You are the controller of our destiny.
You are the buyer of our misery.
You are the reaper of our opportunity.
You are the stealer of our eternity.

Peasants bow their peasantry to you.
Nobles bow their nobleness to you.
Royals bow their royalty to you.
Gods bow their holiness to you.

You are the bestower of sadness.
You are the spender of happiness.
You are the conqueror of kindness.
You are the destroyer of togetherness.

No embryo is exempt from your hands.
No infant is exempt from your touch.
No child is exempt from your hands.
No creature is exempt from your touch.

Your presence is everlasting.
Your action is external.
Your influence is dictating.
Your eternity is internal.

Fighting you is pointless.
Accepting you is tearless.
Racing you is painful.
Embracing you is mindful.

Life, you are kindly the giver.
Its taker, you are forever.
