Using the Ocean

Using the vast ocean, I look deep at the ocean, to drown out the stupidity, I look at the sea, to drown out the violence of young people, The more I look at the sea, a thousand times, the more lucid my soul is, I look at the sea, to drown out the arrogance of talking hyenas, I look deep at the sea, to drown in the smells of suburbs, I watch the sea a thousand times to drown my sleepless nights, To drown out the toxic looks, take off, you capture the sky. I look at the ocean, to live in my country by the new energy of the grand desert. I look at the sea, to drown the arrogance of the great cities, I look at the red sea, to drown out the Brest bitterness, I look at the ocean; I’ll look at it a million times, Forgetting my day, how bad, people can be. Because forgetting the dark side of my planet I looked at the ocean To drown out people I met, And thoughts they had.

The sea is so vast that it can take in and drown all unwanted things of the world. But I wonder what will happen to it in course of time.... Will it not become a garbage heap of toxicity? Well written dear yaan

Being in the great outdoors may bring us fleeting moments of happiness and peace. Well written, dear Yann; the ocean has the power to cleanse away the compromises of the past.
