This is likely a sculpture near Cavenagh Bridge in Singapore.

I was inspired by these pictures and here's a short poem I just wrote (though it's not directly related to these photos):

live your life today
stone
said
because tomorrow you decay

BUT I MUST DISAGREE
I WILL LIVE FOREVER
SAID THE YOUNG CACTUS TREE
MY HEART IS AS BIG AS THE SEA
MY LOVE AS FAR AS EYE CAN SEE
AND ONE THING I GUARANTEE
THAT WHATEVER HAPPENS TO ME
MY SPIRIT WILL BE FREE
