The Great Wall of China

Dr Abe V Rotor


I walked the rice terraces
from Earth to moon and back;
on the moon I saw the Great Wall
gray, with color of crimson spill,
cries of Genghis Khan I heard,
and echoes of moaning chill.
I walked the rice terraces round the Earth
many times the length of the Great Wall,
green on one side, golden on the other;
songs I heard are thanksgiving,
in ritual rhythm rise echoing a past,
a past still living.~

NOTE: Both the Banaue Rice Terrces and the Great Wall of China are among the top wonders of the world and adjudged UNESCO Heritage sites.

i think Banaue Rice Terraces is more famous than Great wall of China perhaps because it was listed in the seven wonders of the world and it is unusual type of a rice field that is shaped like a stairs. Also, it is 100% made by our countrymen.
