On our small planet
a few house-flie...To Kuo Mo-Jo<br /><br />On our small planet<br />a few house-flies bang on the walls.<br />They buzz, moan, moon,<br />and ants climb the locust tree<br />and brag about their vast dominion.<br /><br />It is easy for a flea to say<br />it topples a huge tree.<br />In Changan leaves spill in the west wind,<br />the arrowhead groans in the air.<br /><br />We had much to do and quickly.<br />The sky-earth spins<br />and time is short.<br />Ten thousand years is long<br />and so a morning and an evening count.<br /><br />The four oceans boil <br />and the clouds fume with rain,<br />The five continents shake <br />in the wind of lightning.<br /><br />We wash away insects<br />and are strong.<br /><br />-Mao Zedong-johnshaplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618981988062495637noreply@blogger.com
