Poem
I have always wanted something wonderful out of life But my mother said there is always a price It has nothing to do with land, money or property Someone has always been there for me and I am very sorry Cowards hide behind their doors causing a terrible uproar Giving out conceited orders resulting in many disorders It is with love and compassion that I speak and use this formidable technique My ancestors originated from ancient Greek but I will not doublespeak I have been trying to pen this verse since yesterday But something profound entered my space and led my mind astray And I forgot what I wanted to say But today as I was preparing to go away The words come knocking on my door with an urgent message from the distant shore and I could not ignore it anymore Yesterday I felt a sudden heat penetrating my body I felt a burning sensation inside And something inconceivable was dragging me to the countryside I did not know where to go so I went in the direction where my spirit flows I turned into the narrow street to get some fresh fruits But the prices were way above the roof I felt aloof and walked away from that seller because he was doing something improper I bought three pounds of water melon from a woman And ate some of it at the stand Water melons are almost out of season and And it was sold for a Yuan per pound this was more than high treason I deeply contemplated the reasons I bought some tangerines that were very green It was not the season but they were plucked off the trees for no reason They are a destruction to the environment this is a global embarrassment Hundreds of idle men sit on the sidewalks Playing cards and looking at me like the eastern orthodox Slothful men, unprincipled men, retired men with bushy beard big, strong and un-inspired men waiting patiently to be hired Inquisitive and curious women gathered around, inquiring about me They looked at me up and down and giggled at me with a curious frown They form a circle around and started to question me The circle got bigger and thicker so I moved away quickly to control their politicks I bid them goodbye and rode down the street with a deep, humble sigh listening to the wind as it rumbles by I found a comfortable spot on top of the bridge to relax and listen to my Inner pitch The afternoon gazed at me with sympathy as it revealed my predicted destiny Tall giant trees with branches spreading around looked steadfast above me While the abandon farm below lamented selfishly at me The dried up river beneath the bridge kept reminding me of my sins and where I have been I have multiplied the X and Y chromosome and this species originated in Rome The intense heat forced the workmen to lay down their tool for a day While the abandon farm looked directly at me, with dried sticks shooting in the air as if they have something to share Stagnant water settled in boxes and the swampy grounds drenched with mosquitoes and water fungus The overgrown vegetable patches looked subtlety at me , it appeared as if no one was in town The plants have dried up too and the vegetable plants were laying flat on the ground What on earth is going on, on this side of town? I looked around to search for answers but I did not hear anything from New Hampshire The trees on the other sides stood amazed and the forests on the next side were set ablaze The bright blue clouds smiled gentle over me as it changed the course of my ruthless predicted destiny One woman toiling in the rice field ploughing the swampy rice patch with all the strength she's got and I was very happy about that. Everything around her was healthy and green and I watched her ploughing merrily away towards the final day She level out the ground and revealed the golden seal She owns all rice field in this area and the one that belong to the man was in imminent danger, stagnant, dirty overgrown, and fall victim to peddlers and depraved travelers in the blooming town I stood on top of the bridge where it all began And at last I was able to take the stand and got rid of the unscrupulous business man from the abandon land.
