nut in their mouths.
They all wore the
ancestral rope down
on their waist 
down the mountain of
wisdom and bravery 
To fight for the
freedom through the

since Wuhan virus was released,
we have seen a real absence of

People were so polite to greet each other – how are you?

The priceless diamond held loosely in hand.
