Little Things

Little drop of water,
Little grain of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land.

And the little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.

So our little errors
Lead the soul away,
From paths of virtue
Into sin to stray.

Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.

This poem emphasizes the value of things; though small, the importance and usefulness of those little things are worth living for. I felt compelled to pledge to people to stop the destruction done to the world and the people living in it. We should not spark hatred and shame others just because we are not sharing the same principle. It saddens me to see that we experience that in Malaysia.

Stop polluting the environment, stop polluting the mind of the people, stop destructing the trust that our forefathers had built before. Please respect each other and show our children the correct way to lead the country. If this is not stopped, the country would not prosper and would still hold the title developed country. There goes the 'negara maju' status...
