Migration

Your sad words were bright years ago:

"My despair twists my heart tight,

And every playwright I know

Plays the drama of our dark night.

Let us carry what we have gained thus far,

And let us now begin a new journey,

To the skies that possess shiny stars

To the land that finds our talents worthy."

And my overseas words were also bland:

"My dearest brother-in-land!

Our hearts are also fastened tight,

And our playwrights of the light

Are only broken shards of the sun mired

Into the heart of the night.

Oh my dear brother!

How easy you decided,

How naive and lightheaded you decided

To migrate

From our own old stinky share,

And its deserted air.

How easy you used words,

And not a sword to fight.

Did not you know

How many men migrated

To the same endless trouble before ?

Oh, darn beautiful life!

What is wrong with you?

Wherever on earth

We make homes,

Our sky is always colored death.
