Lucky me
© Philomathes

Open that instant cup noodles of yours
Pour the clean water that you drink
As you take the first sip of its soup
Taste the freedom and peace of war

Open that powered drink that you take everyday
Pour it into the colorless water that fills your cup
Taste the sweet flavor that sips through your body
The power of being free is in your lips

Face the truth between the privileged
One who suffers, one who enjoy
This is a war we never saw coming, a war we cannot see
Laugh til the end of your days, this is a war who does not care of your riches.

Open that instant cup noodles of yours
Pour its hot water like how painful it is to the body of man
Open it like you nurture every bits of its creation
A taste of life---can you see your privilege now?
