On Saturday 25th of May, Matthias, Elise and I did the Auckland harbour bridge bungee jump. We decided to do this because unfortunately, our exchange has almost come to an end. Also because of the coronavirus situation, the bungee jump was reduced in price so we found it an excellent moment to finally have this amazing experience.

In the garden of emotions Hate is a noxious weed Needing no cultivation It grows from a mutant seed There is no need to nurture An emotion that doesn’t care One that kills other plants In a bed it will not share
Hate’s an easy emotion Ignore it and it will spread Growing out of bitterness Leaving other emotions dead It has no good intentions No philosophical aims Religion and politics Are used to play it’s games
It will destroy the garden And the soil that gave it birth Spreading disease and despair Leaving toxins in the earth They who are embraced by hate Cannot stand proud and tall There is no honour for one Who wants another to fall
In our garden of emotions We have to pull the weeds And provide the nutrients For our emotional needs In a garden that grows love There is no room for hate It’s seeds will lie dormant They will not germinate.
