"Lost" - A Poem
Updated: Aug 23
Author: Joey Zhou
Remove the veil of lust, let the frost of humanity melt in the entangled emotions...,
Who will control the rise and fall of the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains?
Overcoming difficulties and hurdles, the golden swords and iron horses swallow the mountains and rivers like a dream...
Return, return again, return to the plot of the nine gates of ice and fire.
You are so sad, like a lost lamb,
You are so relieved, you can always be on edge in every passion,
You are so happy, always resurrecting in the moment of yin and yang.
Yes! For every difference from the common, say goodbye to your hometown,
In order to get applause like opium, say goodbye to your parents who miss you day and night.
Damn, damn the so-called man has ambitions in all directions!
Invited, loved, married, separated,
Lost in fabricated poems, Singing to your heart's content!
Goodbye hometown, goodbye ideals, Goodbye imagination, goodbye beyond land,
Instant yin and yang, Instant ideals, Instant happiness, Instant faith!
