Hello, the world!

“Hello, the world!” was

our first BASIC program

You would not see it until you execute

 

The world is

             neither a void space that we claim and fill

             nor an infinite time that runs forever

                                                     and guarantees a future

 

It is not a habitat

             unless we take care

It is not a shelter

             unless we care

 

It is not a boulder

that is irremovable and undeformable

A boulder can be moved and shaped

A mountain can sharply bend the waterway, yet

water can erode the mountain over time

                          making its own way

 

The world is

neither an object we handle

nor a subject we can dodge

It is

what we do and don't

what we are for and against

what we keep and alter

what we create and destroy

Really, it is

what we made it to be
