The Sand Says
Diocesan Girls’ School, Chu Charmaine Antonia, Poetry: Group 4
There are billions of us, reaching
From north to south.
We join hands,
We work,
We constitute,
A living utopia
Of golden gleam.
We are
The ffth of the world,
A piece of China land.
There are piles of us, who
Live with humans.
The Nomadic peoples,
The Mongols, we
Know them all.
We have been part of the Mongol Empire,
We have laid the Silk Road,
Ask us about the history,
We have seen all things.
There are loads of us,
We are legion,
Mountains surround us,
Grasslands and steppes of Mongolia protect us.
Have you seen the Tibetan Plateau?
We are the untouched beauty.
We have made all things together.
Do we know all things?
Yes, we have seen them all.
There are plains of us, to
Shelter the frst dinosaur eggs,
Find fossils under us lying,
The mysteries unveil beneath us,
We are the keys to treasures,
We have seen all things.
There are units of us, to
Tint the nature in glittering gold.
