Grey Sky

GREY SKY

When I close my eyes

I remembered

When earth felt sun’s warmth

Cloud run leave  trail thin in the blue sky

Paddy under it starts yellowing

When I open my eyes

I begin to reflect

Soul of selfishness destroys nature

Destroying the hope of God’s creatures

Paddies are not yellowing anymore

The air no longer fills lungs

Only the dust that fills every sniff

Sound of the machine substitute an air

Be irregular tone rhythm

The sky is no longer a reflection of the ocean

Only the grey skies are faithful to accompany

God, forgive me because I can not keep your gift

I’m not strong enough against them

People who are greedy for treasure

I can only  stand enjoying this view

A blue sky hiding behind a grey sky
