AN OLD BOY RIDING ON A YOUNG WOMAN

AN OLD BOY RIDING ON A YOUNG WOMAN

[BY MAIYAKI]

There are blind men seeing visions. Deaf fellows are clapping to lyrics, and I could see a stammerer preaching the gospel. While able-bodied men are lying everywhere, ghosts are penetrating anywhere.

This generation of ours is provoking some crazy feelings in my mind ;

A feeling of no hope for the nobles, but a bright future for the thieves.

Everytime I walked up to the mountain top, I saw prophets parading with red stains on their garments. They tell nothing but the truth yet, they are preaching something they don't do.

Deceits !

And rather than having an audience that probes, they prefer crackers to sandwich - They will rather scream at shadows in the night than 'mobbing' a bandit in the light.

*So who are the real ambassadors of poverty ?*

Is it the politician that works day and night to present an illusionary agenda or the 'crowd' that gives a 'standing ovation' to an obvious criminal at 'just' a sight ?

When an old boy rides on a young woman, should we say that is marvelous or mysterious ?

For me, I really can not wait to see their children.
