Poem:“The Pedestrian”

Once again, I put the pen down the table

Walking into the deserted streets

Escape from my suffocating house

looking for air, for sight, for a clear head


Glamour starry sky shines with fainted cyan light

Vividly bring out the golden sickle that hangs in the sky

Chilly breeze with autumn leaves flying in the air

making a rustling sound


I plaint in my heart:

what a wonderful view

Seems a bit too luxurious for its only audience


I wanted to ask others:

“Hello, in there. Do you want to come out and have a walk?”

But it eventually become a long sigh


For them, I'm just a nostalgia freak

Couldn’t keep up with fast changing time

For me, they are lives of helpless

That tightly chained with technology.


Once again, I put my hand in the pocket

Walking alone in deserted streets

Towards my illusion of tomorrow

Searching for people, for hope, for a brighter Future
