Distraction

walking between dream and what reality is
became a coin flip at a whim
a clever mice with a veil over rhino’s eyes
leads it astray an honest one’s mind
but rise again
regardless of shame, regret and pain
rise again and march
march towards a better day
keep your chin up with a humble heart
we’ll see what comes at the end of the day

아무리 집중하기 힘들더라도
주저 앉지 않길 바라
다시 일어나서
더 나은 미래 향해 나아가자.

Rumble

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste

surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.

if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)

살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.

Chewing Gum

at downtown DigInn

Just as time floats in a siesta,
Your life may pass by
Like a bubble gum gulped
Without chewing it once.

 

Chew it.
Grind it, throw it around, and stretch
As far as you dare to. You’ve got
One chance.

When the juice is out
And your jaw’s hurting much

Balloon a bubble so wide
You might even have seen it
In your dreams.

And then chew it again.
