Beneath the Autumn Orange Moon
I want to ask
How do you cope?
Witnessing
Hundreds of years
Rotating away the bloodshed:
Conquest,
Militarism,
Injustices.

For my years of ignorance
I will sing sorrowful songs
For not reading between the lines of deceitful news
And their slanted views
In front of my slanted eyes
Hiding the lies
Of oppression,
Degradation, death
Caused by
Abuse of power
I apologize

Beneath the Autumn Orange Moon
That shines on all of us
You cope by cowering behind the sun
Now I awaken
For the truth
