we have hoped against hope
for the situation to get better inside Tibet
god knows how much more? ? ?
numbers have crossed the bar
it seems countless to count
don't know whom to blame anymore
when i actually believe china is the culprit
there is then audibly vast silence in the backdrop
nonetheless, the truth dims out
or may be it is shown that way
you may say it's bad to give up
but sometime, it really feels that way
'om mani padme hum'
it feels i am chanting to keep cool
and like anybody else i too feel
that chanting is the middle-way remedy
elderly chants, guru chants, i chant too
but where the solution lies
there is only silence
and that really kills the spirit
but with prayers still beaming in heart
in the tenth line: or may be it is shown that way i would write this as or maybe it is shown that way OR or it may be it is shown that way. of course use of english may differ from other americans or those in other countries. i'm glad i already know one language (english) pretty well! i grew up in New York State in U.S.A.
