desert sucks upper water to store in the deep
trees, plants, herbs and grasses are about to die
sunshine reflects on mirages there
mirages elude and mislead the travellers,
trees provide with all the productions, yet stand
to shadow the tired travellers in mid summer
and do not fall for creepers or parasites
animals, environment are benefited in many ways,
in the universe of diversities
here is mere desert full of illusions,
there is green land full of vegetations, flower and fruit
two parallel lines go on forever
that hard cruel never meet an end
your choice is futile here,
under the absurd rule of the earth animal eats animal
attempt goes on between weak and strong to survive
up to the weak gets defeated and dies helplessly,
victory, defeasance gradually vanish
laughing, wailing lie under thick dusts
no one nowhere -
some robots roam and rush in the dark or stand still
some meaningless sounds resound
either sighing or roaring laughter is not perceived,
history, civilization fall down,
the lamp burns itself to remove darkness
the flame burns alls that around.
