Art by hoi Keun Koon

Leave me alone
I don’t need your faith
I have my own one

I don’t need to be saved
Don’t bother me!

Stop preaching
Live!
Love!

Leave people alone
You have nothing to sell
You only sell delusion.
You teach deception.

Aphorism

Morality is to ethics what religion is to faith … A shameful thong

Shabbat of Sabbaths,
It’s the Day of Atonement.
Day of forgiveness.

Could you forgive my roughness?
Could I forgive your faults?

You leave us alone,
We roam the world, we fight,
We love and we die.

You sleep, you ignore us. Yet
We cannot keep from hoping.

Painting by Jia Lu

Where are you hiding?
What are you doing as we
Struggle in vain?

We keep bearing the light of
Hope, despite your muteness.
