七律 读 梧桐吟

七律 读 梧桐吟


根归大野叶朝天
接雨迎风倚自然
有凤来仪心似镜
无缘复礼意如莲
相思易断红楼梦
互恋难修白羽禅
情入深渊人是木
千秋耸立不同眠
YALE CHEN

He was the weakest or feeblest prisoner I ever met
1.5 meters tall n 35 kilograms  about his weight
His eyes improportionally big n face naturally pale
He declared with his girl friend love had been made
He could dance gracefully on her palm I dare to bet

Yale must be deserted by his parents or whole family
Nobody sent him clothes or gave him money
Big wind raoring n big snow flakes falling
He was still bare-footed on concrete floor waiking

Among big games following the law of jungle just
He must be a small lamb or scapegoat less than dust
Things were running opposite just to my poor sight
Yale had his own way to conquer or bravely fight

I didn't see whether his IQ high or low
Compared with other guys he reacted a bit slow
Such amimal destined to be a small joke
On his shoulders still stood a big hope

When the little yellow cap was on his head
His poor face suddenly became bloodly red
He began to yell , teach n rule us like a king with all his might
Strange enough the noisy room right away deadly quiet

More than once I was woken by his thundering shout
Waiting for his teachings serious n aloud
Instead he furtively came to me with his quilt in hand
Lightly put it on my back igoring the banned

This meant his concience was stlll sound in his heart
Yale looked up the oldest n only political counterpart
I swore to give him some help whenever he needed
He should be fully respected n better treated

When the CAP was removed from his head
Fists fell on him like hails from the sky
The reason was that he had too much "duty" to forget
The right to wear the Cap from others he loved to buy

Once he was beaten by the vice room leader
His big eyes open large jetting great fire
I stood up n tried to with the weak or the weaker
Rebel against the attacker to get out the mire

Fortunately it was only an aborted rebellion
I was soon ordered to leave the Room n situation
Just bf I left I saw Yale was on my clothes worn
Such words from my brain suddenly born

Help yourself before you help others
Bury your ambition in front of Big Brothers
Ambition arouses Anger n Anxiety
   that lead to turmoil of society
Tolerance brews patience n diversity
   which bring us invention n varielty
