OBSTRUCTION
Living death
Never to feel
Owner
of your breath
Never to feel
Owner
of your movements
Surviving in a life
Not belonging to you
Surviving as a slave
Craving to be free
A life closed
Never to use
Your talent
Closed to
Your energy
A mind made into a wasteland
By the evil work of a human hand
Unsurmountable obstacles in front
Imponderable mountain behind
Endless wait
Useless time
Chinese wisdom says
OBSTRUCTION
WAIT IN STILLNESS
“Teach me not to care
Teach me to be still”
