1/ My Mother

Mother! My tears flow when you happen to be walking by my mind
Because the sweat of your labour flow coutless time.
Day after day comes to you nothing new - or things of the kind
After gone your prime...

But how can I have enouhg tears?
As your sweat dated back fifty years!

2/ 04/04/04 0h 40

0...4, 0...4, 0...4 today I reach 4...0
It is the age that men turn mellow;
But to the world it seems like I've just said hello,
As I have nothing but a cozy Home of Four, expecting another to grow!

I am going to have taken Four Jobs,
Forty upheavals my life has been through in silent tear;
How many times my heart throbs
For the renewal of my blood each and every year?

Oh, for life is too large, one's life is small,
For...oh...what do people try and compete?
Do winners really take it all?
Without givers the world is incomplete!

Naturally all reach their mellowness
On the way they pursuit happiness.

3/ A Day Off

A pause, a break, an interlude, a disconnect
whatever people may call,
it's a God sent segment to make life perfect
as repeating summer, winter, spring, fall.

As after long playing
a disc player has to pause,
after long hard working
a human needs to unplug himself from the hi
tech mechanism for a durable cause.

Ah, all move always
as if they have no target,
or the target of life is by all ways
to move
or all regret.

A day off is like Peace, as we may call,
in the perpetual Struggling Existence of all.

4/ Today's Wh's

Who on earth are you?
That's what sometimes I wonder myself;
What the hell is "I"?
It's about which I always wonder.

I don't know much
But I know I love this life;
In which I am living
As I hate the living dead.

Where on earth did "Po-mo" come from?
It must've sprung from this modern world;
Why the hell it's called "post"?
That's a metaphysical question.

Stop asking
Then you'll get the answer;
Start loving
You'll realize the Truth forever.

5/ Come and Go Happy

Come to me
My world fellows
To share peace as the ever-lasting value grows
Come happy
Overcome what may comes
Hardship, poverty, violence or discrimination
As they've been always there
Show your hands and we can hug.
Hug to get rid of all the dirty bugs
Of injustice, wars and hypocricy
Hug to warm all the hearts longing to beat free
Hug to share your power of love
Hug to show our truest-self
The world is too large, our peaceful world is small
Come together
Enlarge our spiritual strength
Enhance our righteous cause
Encounter the evil
Encase the devils
Endamage the gutter
Encourage the unprivileged
Engage in justice
For you and me
Life is not life without it
We are human
And only when we can think we are human
We can go happy
