A prayer
All men and women,
I beseech:
please, pray to be white cranes
on a desolate sea shore
to be so much in love and peace.
you are so chaotic,
Are lacking peace
are without understanding and love,
Cut by personal interest piece by piece
I , for me ,shall pick up to be a crane
in a lonely sea shore
To live amidst in thousands of them
Peace and caring love to claim.
