To Exist And To Exit
I had been concerned
About how to exist.
At the end I worry
About how I'll exit.

Biography To History
A man’s biography
Becomes a history
With insertions of lies
By men of interest.

Despair, nevertheless
First deserve;
Then desire.
Will the desire hear it
To avoid despair?

In the process of change
Big or small, a friend or foe,
Be he. Time changes; him time changes.

Big men do big
Most men think big;
Least men do big.
Those doing big
Hardly feel big.

The Vacuum
The world will not pain
When someone is dead.
It will be happy
To fill the vacuum.

Saltier Tears
Tears shed of humiliation
Are saltier than
Tears shed of pain and loss.

The Easy Tasks
To say I don't know,
To bid others do,
And to ask questions
Are the easiest tasks.

Defamation Case
He called me a thief.
I cannot disprove it.
Let me, instead, sue him
For defamation.

For Its Variety
The new one replaces
The one still vibrant
With its variety
And not for its quality.
