Be withdrawn and reticent to observe
People and affairs change like Proteus
Be a bit cold and numb to new trends
That’s how I try to keep a cool head
Be not too involved, slow to hypes
So I could have a moment of rest
Not to interfere, not eager to correct
Everything has its own time and course
I must learn to be quiet, not to disturb
Especially that I want to be a poet
There are still trees in the park, go
Find shade, listen the birds, and see people walk pass.
He who has all the powers to change
Will do none, but leaves it to people
