Analysis of All Passive



Who would think
That time would pass
It deed, it swept away
That is the route of life
Everything will be hiding
Like a shadow
Will be rolling like clouds in the sky
It is only in a twinkle of time

Nothing remain static
Except one that is Him
The Lord of Lords
A creator of heaven and earth
Not few, not you and I 
All guest of this universe  

In the meantime
loving one another
Living peaceful life
to do something meaningful
sharing a little thing in hand
will make a difference in one's life
the rest is all passive

About this poem

Whether we like it or not, all things are passive. Nothing static. Over the years on my life journey, I have seen, witnessed, observed and experienced countless events, slowly, but surely all passive.

Yeshiembet/Yeshi Gemaneh

I was born and raised in Eastern parts of Ethiopia in the city of Harar, I was attended elementary and secondary school in Haile Selassie Day School in Addis Ababa. I remember when I was in grade 7, I won a prize for being the best student - a book "Alice in Wonderland," from Emperor Haile Selassie, King of Ethiopia. From High School, I was rewarded scholarship for higher education on City Administration, and Social Studies in the cities of Luneburg, Aachen and Dusseldorf, West Germany. I had also a humble opportunity of learning Western culture, German language and associated closely with hard working German people. My fascination and love for poems goes many years back, when I was in grade 7, one day our English teacher read, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star ...," since then I wanted to write poems. In 1995 I had an opportunity to join, The International Library of Poetry. Since then I expressed on variety of topics or titles; I call it my ABC poems. I see my life experience as my greatest teacher, and I love to share what I have had acquired over many years with others, however, every day I am a learner. It is my strong belief and philosophy, if a person has interest and willpower can achieve his goal. As a child, my important figure was my mother. She taught me the Ethiopian alphabets, and love of family and surroundings that helped me to see many things positively. Unfortunately, despite my wonderful childhood experience and growth; I encountered many ups and down of life journey that too taught me a lesson. Now, I am in my senior years being old is wisdom. There is a saying, "quitters are losers," and I don't want that to apply on me. more…
