A Decent Dream

 

Once, in the past times,

 

When I was a tiny kid,

 

In my tiny books

 

I have read:

 

If you learn so much

 

a candle will shine in your head

 

 well,

 

I burnt my mind learning

 

Yet now

 

I can hardly find the way to my bed

 

===

 

Useless to learn

 

Useless to be ignorant

 

Useless to yield

 

Useless to fight

 

Useless to raise your head

 

Useless to lower your head

 

Useless

 

To do anything

 

Except to be

 

A decent human

 

Seeking a decent dream.
