1. Hurricane

At the time when hurricane came,
Any struggle would be useless.
Let's find somewhere to hide ourselves,
We'll take care of the business after it's all over.

There will be sunshine
Tomorrow.

2. Hanging Pagoda

What if
your heart is hanging

on the high beam of the Hanging Pagoda
on the cliff of high mountains,
like a shinning eye looking down
at yourself, the most prominent
Kungfu master of the time,
lying on the floor tightly bound
by an old lady who was
Deaf And Dumb

and could not
do a single thing about it?

I really like this, especially the second verse. This is very creative! I especially like the part about the deaf and dumb and being unable to do anything about it. Neat.

Very interesting read

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Enjoyed the clarity of that thought,
BUT, deaf doesn't necessarily mean dumb.

That's very sad, and leaves me shaken.

That image of a Kung Fu master bound and tied up like that made me roar with laughter, and then wonder about the scene that preceded the tie-up.
But the overall implications...the perceived 'weak' overpowering the perceived 'strong'.....
I'm really enjoying reading you, Laoha.

Thanks to you all. There are some situations so helpless, I was just trying to capture it.
