I'M Breathing The Air My Forefathers Exhaled Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

I'm walking on the same earth my forefather's walked
Watching the same sun as my ancestor's did
Enchanted on the same stars as they did
Awed on the same moon as they did
Bathe on the same waters
which never get tired
Of recycling
From ice to liquid to vapor to clouds
I maybe breathing the air they exhaled
And some of them may think
Of the world as a square.
And some
May have the ideas I have
May have the same dreams I have
May have the same imaginations
As I have
and I am breathing the air they exhaled.
