But God has only one Song
To sing for my mind:

All the problems of humanity,
But I do not want to fulfil
My little life’s little responsibility.

Mother Earth blesses meWith hopes.
Father Heaven blesses me
With promises.
I must fulfil my Parents’
Hopes and promises.

In my aspiration-heart-home,There is no entry and no exit
For thoughts.

Poor mind!It has no choice.
It is not allowed to hear
My soul’s voice.

This morning —I do not know how, why
And wherefrom —
A new joy is emboldening
My heart.
