The River

The river calls for the living as it calls for the dead.
The river is for taking and giving.
We do not say the river is a monster.
That would be ludicrous.

The river is just nature.
Neither lover nor hater.
The river does not care for sentiment.
The river just fulfills its intention.

The river is older than humans.
The river is true to itself.
Unlike we selfish vain fools.
Who only ever think of ourselves.
