Politics: I’ll Kneel by Wansoo Kim
replacing political farce with faith
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.
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.
From now on,
Even though you do hateful or evil deeds,
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.
