Self Lament
A lazy me has ignored my Taiji sword long
For work I still to the Presidio march on
From buildings I watch the white waves of the sea
From sand beaches I hear them as well as the seals
On Soldier Field, a parade of troops I can see
Years passed by as fast as an arrow
Surprising how much white hair I grow
Too many vexing thoughts in my mind
I doubt I’m a man of scholastic kind
In life I’ve been but a man blind
