A HAPPY SMILEY ASIAN COUNTRY
i woke up
this morning with dawns early light
still
suffering from jet lag after one month in
a happy smiley asian country
i decided to
go for a walk and find something to eat
just the
thing I love to do when I am in
a happy smiley asian country
but there
were no sellers of congee or soto ayam or pho
not at all
like the early morning hours in
a happy smiley asian country
the few
people I past look stern and eye me suspiciously
no cheerful
sabai di or chao ong or pagi pagi like in
a happy smiley asian country
a police car
pulls up and I am asked where I am going
i explain I
am just enjoying the dawn like I would in
a happy smiley asian country
the officer
looks me up and down then says
sir you are
free to go but remember this you are not in
a happy smiley asian country
often I
wonder with all our material comfort
why cannot we
be a bit more like
a happy smiley asian country
