Pike Place Market and Space Needle
race tracks out at Indy
stands Jefferson's Memorial
Nashville's Grand Ole Opry

Biking somewhere downtown Beijing (Bay-jing)
Great Wall nearby Xian (Z-on)
wow, thirty million in Chongquing (Chun-king)
pass Hong Kong on sampan (sam-pon)

St Petersburg a sweethearts tryst
ballet at Mariinsky (a theater hall)
an icon city of artist
like those by Kandinsky

Cars on freeways not stepping gas
fans run after The Rock
L.A. Lakers sign autographs
strolls in Hollywood Park

Chinese market in commotion
kids playing fingersticks
riverbanks in Tai Chi motion
reruns of Bruce Lee flicks

Stunning St. Basil's Cathedral
posing pics on Red Square
pass the Kremlin on a night stroll
goulash supper affair

Golden Gate, city by the Bay
Gateway Arch, St Louis
down Bourbon Street Mardi Gras Day
Graceland out by Memphis

Like that of Poe, in his real life,
to write was his haven
suffering the loss of his wife
two years since The Raven

Lamenting a loss is noted
though before it to be
guess a premonition floated
Poe writes of death, mostly

As you can read the no-frilled rhymes
a few strokes on the board
nothing compelling no-thrilled times
such things should be ignored.

Merely go out and drive somewhere
steer from them who forebode
Just be able to simply say
"Are we on the right road?"

While at homes here, or homes o'er there
Just living the homelife
Enjoying each other here--there
Live as one, free of strife.

Song of a Teenage Girl 1/2

PRELUDE

The song expresses the feelings of an Indian village girl. Her parents have fixed her
marriage (It generally happens in the rural areas of India, even to-day). She is about to
leave for the first time for her in-law’s place. She do not want to go to her  father in
law’s place leaving her parents, her soul mates friends the animals and birds.  The song
sketches the tender feelings of her heart for her Mother, Father and Brother & for the
animals and birds, whom she used to look after until now as her most precious friends and
who taught her how to sing a sweet song.  

Song of a Teenage Girl      1/2


Why you are sending me to an alien place, the place of my in laws, O Mother dear and Father,

I played and enjoyed my child hood and youth, in your courtyard O dear Mother & Father,

You always kept me on your eyelids like a pearl of tears,

O Mother, you always kept me close to your bosom, like the beatings of heart, where I laughed and bloomed. 

O Father, after quarrelling with my brother, I used to weep for hours, 

Whenever you call my name, I used to be so proud of you, O my dear Father.

O Father, by seeing a smile on your face, we used to bloom like a flower.

Then,  why you are sending me to an alien place*   O My Mother and Father *,


Please listen to me, O dear Father & Mother, if you have already decided to send me to my in-laws,

-Now you have to give food and water to the Parrots on the Tree.


-O, Mother you have to give now fodder and water to our Cow in our courtyard.

-And do not forget to give grains to our oxen Chun Mun, whom I look after in our fields.

-My melody singing Koyal* would be sitting and waiting for me on the Mango tree.

O Mother, it is Koyal,   who taught me how to sing a sweet song,

Please do not forget to look after that lovely singing bird.

Listen to me, O My dear Father & Mother, if you have already decided to send me to my in laws,

All my birds, animals and my childhood friends would be waiting for me with tearful eyes, O Mother,

Please tell them your daughter has left this place forever and has gone,

To her in laws, a place so alien to her.   ....  concluded in part 2

Is cosúil go bhfuil fonn orainn dul siar agus saibhreas a bhaint amach
Táimid ag imeacht chun ór lonrach a fháil dúinn féin

Ní raibh a fhios agam riamh
go dtí sin
Déanfainn arís é
Déanfainn arís é
Feicfidh mé go bhfuil sé is fearr leat
agus ní raibh a fhios agam riamh
Bhí muid ina gcairde an-mhaith
cairde go dtí an deireadh
Tá sé cosúil go raibh a fhios acu
Feiceann tú tríd é
agus bhí gach rud tríd go dtí gur tháinig tú isteach
I think it show's
and I supposse
it's best with you
Níl aon chasadh ann
agus an rud atá faighte againn
seo mar ba chóir don ghrá dul
coinnigh mo lámh
is mise do fhear

South Korea’s Liberation

South Korea’s thirteenth guide, who rode Korea as his chariot 
Only for six breathes, guided by the thirteenth star of Iscariot 
Under the hoofs, he defiled the white flag, as yin and yang turned again 
The slave of Seokga, the demiurge of sinful men 
Hungry ghost of Chun Doo-hwan, the cornerstone of the people's burden 

Killed by the bamboo dragon, the Korean people as one 
Opened wide by the dragon’s teeth, showing a slave afraid of the sun 
Running away from the dragon and sun, giving up the fight 
Enduring all this, the dragon looked to Mount Sorak, to see a light 
A bonghwang, with wings wide and free, shining through the flag of white
