UNENDING SACRIFICE

So when will human race stop swimming

The seam's gotten wider and filthier

When will earthlings stop sinning

Unending sacrifices forge one's heart chillier.


Countless times that we've ridden trains

Bullet ones, so fast we forgot to live

We've sowed so young just to protect the grains

So early we finished harvesting untimely.


Numerous irreversible edges of human age

We offered our childhood for the sake of future

Played uninteresting tricks on the stage

Now seeks teen age from maturity like a cougar.


We've swam mossy rivers and ponds

Endured the smelly leachate

Boundless sacrifice of present bonds

To secure the unpredictable future's sake.
