In Friendship


In friendship,
I'll be the last to speak of color-bar.

In friendship,
We're free to exchange our ideas.

In friendship,
I don't look into formalities.

In friendship,
I expect no courtesy.

In friendship,
I care two hoots for the word "Dignity"

Work without hope...

Work without hope draws nectar in a seive,
And lips without an object cannot live.

Friendship

The Crooked Road

The mistake I’m making 
O’er and o’er again,
In a crooked road
I’m trying to 
Walk straight.

What a Life

When I laughed,
Sweetly and merrily,
They danced and sang
With me.

When I wept,
None, but my shadow,
To share the sorrow
With me.

An Unknown Devil

An unknown devil
Never troubles me,
A known angel
Often hurts me.

In the right with two or three.

What I dreamt

What I dreamt,
Happened not.
What happened

Same Old Story

"Same old story" had become stale,
Hope you'll talk like a refined male.
I wish to quench my thirst with Adam's Ale
Coz I'm fed up with your Cock and Bull tale.

A Bit O’fluff

A bit o'fluff,
Covered her neck with a silk muff'.
Her looks were not tough,
Words she spoke were not at all rough.
