China

I am the Dragon, Long in Chinese
The eternal dragon
China is so complicated
The life of eternity
The power of Confucius
The power of Shanghai
The power of Beijing 
The power of the Chinese kingdom
Chinese Kingdom
Bow before the United States envy
Chinese eternity
The power of Shanghai
The power of its brother Korea
China will rise again
Time will tell
Chinese supremacy
With Korean Technology
The life is on
For China to rise again

Delicate (Ek, a Casuality of Flankers)

Surefooted, sure fisted,razor tough
If I should fight that war again
I would want one for the going rough
Like yourself,
Fair and fractured 
When the friendship slough
No claim to be a paragon of anything
Just an average man in your own eyes
While I hoisted you like a kite
Above naseberry trees and bush
Above the gormandizing sea
Above the Compound's red mud
Carrying the archeological memory
Of man's life like a sud
A mere consequence of a theory's lie
It was your mating urge that first
Lured you into the systems net
Thereafter your life became troubled
Wandering around the wilderness of regret
Framed like a pirate's ghost
Stereotyped and labeled
I still do not think you guilty of their crime
Your demonization came before your destruction
And when you died
I cried and cried at such a useless end
My fearless friend would never be at my back again
But tears will water pain, and still brings nothing back.

Midnight Morning"

My eyes gaze upon beauties before me
Fireflies dance upon the July air
In all their wonder all I can do is stare
With each flicker they come and go
Crickets chirp and call to one another
In such a simple life even they will find a lover
Moonlit shadows pass through the trees
Casting pale silver reflections upon my eyes
And so I close them to the star covered skies
The wind brings a chill as I lay in the grass
Time slips away while I lay still and silent
Midnight is gone but the dawn brings violet
With pink streaks upon the vast horizon
A soft dew sparkles upon a nearby lily
And a rabbit bounds by looking rather silly
It hops about full of joy and life 
And I know that I am like that too
Full of dreams and hopes to pursue
And before me the sun has risen 
And I too must rise with the day

Central Village

Central Village, ah bitter-sweet your love
The golden sunset above
The black smoke of sugarcane burning
And the boy on Twickenham's mead yearning
Sometimes again like flocks of birds in flight
Across the evening sky
Memory comes winging at the edge of night
And old men only sigh
For all life treasures seem in the past, gone
And every new dawn
Is empty, but of the world's weariness. My pearl,
My diamond in the rough was she
The troubled, bright eye, beautiful girl
I did not know joy she brought to me
Despite your violent lanes, broken fences
You showed me life without gilt and pretenses

Future Plans

Do I want the winter cold?
Or refreshing summer breeze?
I’ll still have one when I’m old
And living life at ease

You must choose wisely what you want
For I’m still pondering
Where and when I want to start
And don’t just start wandering

My life so far has been twisted and turned
With some parts not so fun
At times it felt like my heart was burned
With torches for the sun

Quite a few times I asked myself
“Where do I go from here?”
But, then I find myself asking God
And He replies, “Have no fear.”

For He is with me everywhere
Whether Carolina, Florida, Maine
He will guide me over there
Because we change, yet He stays the same

Looking Over the Hills

LOOKING OVER THE HILLS I SAW LIFE
BUT IT WASNT NATURAL 
SOMEHOW I SAW LIFE HOW IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE
AND NOT REALIZING I WAS IN REAL LIFE I FOUND MYSELF
AND I WAS GLAD CAPABLE TO FLY AND REACH
MY HIGHEST DREAMS I SAW A NICE LIFE WITHOUT STRESS AND
THAT ONLY I COULD LIVE IT BUT I HAD TO LIVE IT BEST
I ONLY SAW FLOWERS BECAUSE OF THE TRESS THAT WERE
BLOCKING MY VIEW AND I FINALLY LOOKED BEYOND THE TRESS
AND SAW A GREAT LIFE FOR ME AND YOU.
