The Place She Dies
Harrow International School Hong Kong, Kim, Hanna - 12
As the sun goes down on my world,
and my days become numbered and I look ahead,
I look upon my life,
while trapped in a bed.
The Greater Bay Area,
is where I lie.
So much has improved,
even before I died.
In the continent of Asia,
thoughts of a new Silicon Valley arise,
it’s a shame that before that,
I will meet my demise.
The Greater Bay Area,
is where I lie.
One day this will be a collection of great cities,
it’s a shame I have to die.
They are talking about banks in Hong Kong,
they are talking about tourists in Macau,
they are talking about technology in Shenzhen.
If only I could live to see somehow.
The advancement of the area,
is greater than one can perceive.
The achievements of the people.
Are hard to even believe.
The Greater Bay Area will grow to be strong,
it’s even young.
Unlike Me,
people’s life song has already been sung.
The Greater Bay Area,
is where I will lie.
So much will be improved,
even after I die.
