Seed of Yellow Dust

Seed Of Yellow Dust

Above a city
Scattered in the blue sky
A grain of yellow dust

In the middle of a wide desert
When the sand breeze blows
Secretly shoot yellow shoots

Trees in the forest
One by one
Every time they disappear
Yellow dust become more yellowish 
Growing up by myself

On the road
Smelling 
Running car fumes
Yellow dust flower blooms 

Factory chimney top
Spouting fumes
Yellow dust fruit bears

Yellow dust fruit called yellow dust
When ripen greedily

Above another city
Scattered in the blue sky
A grain called yellow dust
It begins to grow again and again
(Author’s Note)
Every late winter and early springtime. One of asian country called south korea suffers more and more a yellow dust that comes from china deseart. few charity and volunteer try to stop the dust wind by plating trees. that project had been about 100years. But seems like no achievement yet. I really miss clear blue sky. I wish one day we could prevent yellow dust for forever.

Contrary To Dream

Contrary to dream

Did they know
If they're still alive
Weep and cry over the ground

For the convenience of mankind
With so many ideas and challenges
Many inventions and products developed
It is used to threaten survival.

The harmony between the new continent and religion
By many leaders and pioneers who have tried to thrive
Many minorities were slaughtered
Diseases like the Black Death have spread all over the world.
For someone to eat
Whether you smuggle or legally
The various plants and animals that came in
Destroying the ecosystem of the country and its regions
Has led to numerous extinctions
Started at someone's convenience slavery
For hundreds and thousands of years
To many peoples pain and pain

The first airplane invented by Wright Brothers
Advanced science and technology
While realizing the dream of flying in the sky

Later on, with the development of bombers and fighters,
Many people can't scream and die
It has become a threat to human survival.

First invented the car Curly Bart
People around the world
It makes it easy to communicate without suffering

Later, with the invention of tanks and tanks
Driving millions of people into fear
Sent into the battlefield.
This has also turned into a threat to human survival
Who invented the phone for the first time Bell
It's made for smooth communication with each other

Later on, we record our privacy,
With illegal advertising and spam
It has become anxious to people.

Who first invented dynamite, Novell
It was created to solve minor problems
Contributed to the independence movement
Despite the great efforts in various industries

At a later date
Transportation on the battlefield
Thousands of people crossing the bridge
Used as a blasting weapon
Many people died.

Besides
A lot of things that couldn't be recorded
To record one or two
 They will mourn and cry over the ground

Plastic

Plastic

A piece of plastic around world
Gathered in one place by wind and flow 
Called ocean
Human knows the danger of plastic
And it takes 20 to 30years to be recycled into dust 
The place called ground if it gets full 
Now it’s time for ocean to cover up the mass
Pieces of plastic
floats fishes eat the plastic
Mammal like whale suck up plastic with water
Even sea birds are already eaten pieces of plastic
What happen it goes inside of our mouth
Will we get hurt or sick?
Why don’t we think about us 
What happens if the mother of earth called ocean ruined 
Is it time to think about new solution or recycle?

Four Seasons of Watermill

Four Seasons of Watermill 

Watermill, Watermill, Watermill
At the entrance of Seoul National University
A watermill that goes back to alone

In the spirit of spring earth
Forcefully turn the watermill

In the summer heat and rainy season
Don't get tired and turn around

When the autumn wind blows
In the falling leaves
Get your feet back on the watermill

When the cold winter approaches
Your whole body is surrounded by icicles
When looking at the resting watermill
Turn the watermill vigorously even in your heart

Waiting for a new spring
To come and to turn the watermill again

Suffering Night

Suffering Night

Suffering night 
Weather you care about others or not
Someone opens a window, burns a cigarette 
Trashing out trash out of the window
Weather you care about others or not
Someone snoring in a comfortable bed
Weather you care about others or not
Pretend not to see and listen up
 The elevator and the wall sign on the inside and outside
Thumping and jumping sounds that comes from upper building
when 10pm passed out bothers downstair neighbors sleep
Weather you care about others or not
Singing, Play band, A NOISY autocycle drive after 10pm
Bothers more other neighbors sleep
What else bother us sleeping?

My Envious Sister

My envious sister

My envious sister 
 A clear gap between my sister and I
Two years ago my sister beat a lot of competitors
Entering SNU was a challenge 
like American students entering Harvard univeristy
The sky will impress you with your sincerity
For some reason my sister is resentful.

As a stupid little villager and a smart and excellent SNU student
I'm not live in Joseon Dynasty but
The world is not fair for me
Drive me that I'm less than my sister
Three times the sky is resentful.

SNU student is not a crack
For some reason
I'm a fairy tale Cinderella
I'm in charge of the nasty chores and chores.

While my brother went out to study day and night
10 pm, 11 pm, 12 pm
When watching a movie,
The moment you want to go to bed after work
With loud phone sounds
Order to bring my sister outside.

Away from the cozy dragonfly
With scolding parents
Going out to pick up my sister
My sister does not knows my heart
Sometimes your face is full of smiles

These big and small things pile up
I'm used to it now
Sometimes I want to be my sister

The World In My Hands

The world in my hands

In the framework of a smartphone
The world is trapped
In a small vending machine
Despite not being a pet or a real person
Give and receive sorrow and joy day and night

In the framework of a smartphone
The world is trapped
Even without a plane or car
Via sites like YouTube Pandora
I don't know if they're true or lies
Listen to news from all over the world.

In the framework of a smartphone
The world is trapped.
When you get a break, you're caught up in games and cartoons
Aside from everything you have to do
Never let go while listening to scolding

In the framework of a smartphone
The world is trapped

The Role of the Shadow

The role of the shadow

The dark night sky passes
Behind the rising red sun's back
The shadow cast is
It is the hopeful shadow of everyone who starts the day.

The back of the blue beach
The shadow cast is
The shadow of the laid back

Behind the pine trees towering over the cliffs
The shadow cast is
It is the shadow of those who have suffered and endured

Under the willow
Behind the blue lake
The shadow cast is
In busy daily life
It is a shadow that shows the desire of those who want to rest.

Through buildings in the city
The shadow cast is
The shadow of the times and the shadow of those seeking happiness

After sunset, my back glows
The shadow cast is
Whose shadow is it?
