Well, today has been an eventful day…..went out with grandma to go pray………
Along the way there, we passed by some parks…right in the middle of town!! I had no idea we had such finery amidst the towers of glass and concrete……….pity that the government would spend so much of the budget on maintaining parks which nobody goes to or is even aware of……and they are mainly to ‘beautify’ the surrounding areas of the homes of high officials and members of the royal family. And on the other side of town (not that far away) would be slums……….here there are acres of Japanese grassed land protected by gold spiked walls for the rich people who inherited by birthright and not by merit……………………..we live in a paradoxical society…………
Today was a hot day… even hotter in the temple. We had to pray to thank the gods for my good results…………….happy happy happy day. It was only through the duration we were there that my eyes were filled with tears, and my throat chocked with dust from all the smoke around……….*cough cough*……………..but it was fun. I haven’t been there in a long time………………….oh and custom!! Since young, we have this custom to crawl, or rather shuffle while banging our arms and legs everywhere, under the long table in the middle ‘to turn our luck’. Although I can’t think why I need to turn the incredibly good luck I’m having around………………there’s really no logic…but hey….custom is custom and it worked before, so it must work now…..^.^
Well, scrapes aside…………
Wrote a little something….not a poem but need to get something off my mind……….
You claim to know
What I am
Who I am
Who was I before?
In your anger, inclarity
You say you claim
I have changed,
But who are you to say?
You think I’m not myself
You thought
I’m the one who is different,
Who no longer wants to hear you,
To know you,
I’m the one who is not suppose to be like this
You claim to know I was different
But who are you to say,
You have never known me
You have never known me at all,
I did not change,
You merely do not know me before.
There…….it’s out…………..*sigh*
also, there seem to be no applicants to join Taka and Kei...so I'm thinking of calling off the whole thing and going solo........................
