4. Lost
By: Bruce Ignacio
I know not of my forefathers
nor of their beliefs
For I was brought up in the
city.

5. Our home seemed
smothered and surrounded
as were other homes on
city sites.

6. When the rain came
I would slush my way to
school
as though the street were a
wading pool.

7. Those streets were always crowded.
I brushed by people with every step,
Covered my nose once in awhile,
Gasping against the smell of
perspiration on humid days.

8. Lights flashed everywhere
until my head became a
signal, flashing on and off.

9. Noise so unbearable
I wished the whole place
would come to a standstill,
leaving only peace and quiet

10. And still, would I like this kind of
life? . . .
The life of my forefathers
who wandered, not knowing where
they were going,
but just moving, further and further
from where they had been,

11. To be in quiet,
to kind of be lost in their dreams and
wishing,
as I have been to this day,
I awake.

12. Then I recall this trail
Swept away by the north wind,
It wasn’t for me to follow
The trail of the long walk.

Those who saw the buffaloes are gone.
And the buffaloes are gone.

35. 4. Animal Farm

A little way down the pasture there was a knoll
that commanded a view of most of the farm. The
animals rushed to the top of it and gazed round
them in the clear morning light. Yes, it was
theirs—everything that they could see was theirs!
In the ecstasy of that thought they gamboled
round and round, they hurled themselves into the
air in great leaps of excitement. It was as though
they had never seen these things before, and even
now they could hardly believe that it was all their
own.

36. 5. Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse
The Buddha went quietly on his way, lost in
thought. His peaceful countenance was neither
