Han Min Ohn Poems

World nowadays displays many extremes
Some people well paid and others receive only a dim
Well-paid guys get too much extra money to spare
So they compete with the poors in buying not only the rare
...

My heart says Go but my brain says NO
To which should I listen, myself don't know
Follow my heart, and my brain will deny
Luxury, ease and convenience away from my life
...

During the course of life you will encounter
Failures in the form of mild, moderate to severe
Don’t be disappointed by such events
The most important thing is to never give up
...

A merry guy is the luckiest one
In this confused world of man
For non of the mishaps can touch his merriness
Even the famed Lord of Death
...

Green leaves sprout with fall of rain
Shading us from sun-light's strain
In winter these leaves grow old
Reminding us of becoming cold
...

Migrant workers from developing Third World
Move to developed countries for all sorts of work
They may be professionals or just basic workers
Trying to fill their pockets a little much tighter.
...

What I want is a friend
Who will give me advice me when I want
Not someone who will nod and say
Every thing you say is in perfect way
...

Look into the mirror and you will find an image
Is it really yours or is it just a mirage?
Does it know your happiness and joy
Or is it just imitating your facial smile
...

The face of an old woman
So sore with life's tyrant
Could be in her country the one
Most adored when she was young
...

Once I saw a feather
Falling down from the sky
Slowly away from the heaven
And nearer to my eyes
...
