Politics: I’ll Kneel by Wansoo Kim
From now on,
However hard and painful I am,
I won’t draw the rainbow about you
Nor will I raise the voice of complaint and resentment.
Â
From now on,
I won’t turn my back nor will I avoid your eye
Like the couple in whom the dregs of disappointment and anger
Has been piled up for many years.
Â
From now on,
Even though you do hateful or evil deeds,
Â
I’ll become a mother with a sickly child,
Hug you shedding tears
Instead of a cane
And fold my hands falling to my knees
Worrying about your future.

I express my hearty gratitude to New York Parrot for posting my poem. I
pray New York parrot will prosper more and more.
This is poetry! Beautiful! Straight from the heart!
It’s a wonderful poem seonsangnim. It’s Simple yet powerful in its theme and the message is sharp. I can feel the love even if the human nature is evil. So empathetic, sad, painful and yet gives a sense of attachment, affection, care, importance and love. Loved the read sir.
Thanks for your encouragement. Short but strong!
Thanks for your detailed comment. I like the second sentence most.
