Beautiful things, beautiful people and beautiful smiles
Innocence and the promise of a domesticated civilization
The blue sky, the green ocean, and those twinkling eyes
The northern breeze and the sweet fragrance of your hair
Was it me or the world wasn’t quite ever fair?
Because when I found those colorful feathers in the air
I wondered whose diligent hand they did prepare!
But then I saw that ascending desperate bird in the air
Who fluttered too far with those wings which were impaired
Why was she fleeing away; wasn’t it just another sunny day?
Maybe she was running away from a dream that had gone astray!
But then she was too far away and the sky was turning gray
So I whispered: see you on the other side of the Milky Way!

Darwinian Evolution in view!
Around the time of the graduate orientation week at MIT, a Chechen mother with her four daughters ages 2, 6, 10 and 13 attempted to cross the Bieszczady mountains. For days later the Polish police found the emaciated mother, carrying her 2-year-old daughter. This poem is dedicated to the memory of those who never made it to the other side.
