Han Min Ohn Poems

Why should I need a friend
if he follows my every step
if he echoes my thoughts every once
if he always feels the same as me
...

Ticked and ticked and ticked a clock
Without stopping it went on
Minutes, seconds passed it showed
But it itself looked unaffected though
...

Marriage is a lottery
For every man and woman
Happiness may come, but with very little chance
So don't be disappointed or woe
...

Once in my dream, I followed a road
The beginning of which I forgot to note
As the surrounding was worth a gaze
Walked I along the road in leisurely pace
...

Democracy, Democracy, Democracy
Is it nothing but just a political trick or fantasy
Used as a tool to suppress or attack other countries
Which have their own distinct political identities.
...

Keep friends but keep them such
Never let them know too much
Keep money but keep it such
You won't be ruined by its avenge
...

One hot summer night I had a bad bad dream
In it I was traveling in a desert without a team
Alone I walked hours on the hot stirring sand
The wind blowing my face, the sun draining my strength
...

We regard something as 'It is ugly.'
Because our minds believes another thing is a beauty
We regard one job as an easy one
Because difficult ones we previously had done
...

For proud people with waxy ears
Every piece of advice is just a blur
And for those who have narrowed their sights
Every strategy except theirs is not bright
...
