Hi, the following is my poem, thanks !  ~~Lin Lin

Terrorist Attack Should Disappear from the Earth Forever

Everyone is born equal and free,

without distinction of any kind,

such as sex, race, colour, religion,

language, property, political or other opinion,

birth or other status, national or social origin . 

Everyone is endowed with reason,

ingenuity and conscience.

Everyone has the right to life,

liberty and security of person.

But,

Why do the explosion happen frequently ?

Why is the crazy fire endless ?

Why even the sarin nerve poison is also abused ?

We have the right to live peacefully.

We have the right to live happily.

Convenient transportation,

easy shopping, happy party,

joy contest, passionate concert,

and sincere religious beliefare are what we need.

Don’t want to hear anything about the terrorist attacks.

All hatred, anger should always stop.

All opposition, revenge should always be forgotten

All terrorist attacks

And the terrorists

Should be out forever !

[Richard Deodati]

With almost childlike innocence, Lin Lin has written a poem for all to read and assimilate into their everyday routine. "Everyone is endowed with reason, ingenuity and conscience. Everyone has the right to life,

liberty and security of person." Sometimes the most simply written poems can be the most powerful and meaningful. Such is the case with Lin Lin's poem entitled, "Terrorist Attack Should Disappear from the Earth Forever." Thank You, Lin Lin, for your very fresh and honest approach!
