Analysis of Life on the riverbed
The river does not know how to stop
The movement does not have any border.
It breaks one side and builds the other side
The river goes on to the sea
It breaks down as it wishes
Whatever the dam you built.
Yet this is the life of the riverside
Beloved to many people
They are the witnesses of the breaking and building
The river has taken their own.
The river is filled up
Hits both the sides
Here comes the tidal waves
Wake up everyone!
