A Moment of Nothingness by Min Ko Naing
Posted by AdminE on August 24, 2008
Being a dragon - evolving from having been a snake,However there is no dragon crest to raise high.
Having imprinted configurations
On ones’ palms,
Yet there is no sign of luck to be proud of.
Everybody enters the race in the river
through their own preparation,
However, when one meets the waterfull unexpectedly,
Some ‘free-riders’ downstream scream in shock,
And some struggling upstream against the tide finally become helpless.
Numbers are increasing year after year,
However, there is no actual age to show people.
It could be still be called a life
Because we are still living and struggling,
However, there is no actual meaning to express.
