(New Poem) Euthanasia

Note: This poem has already been published and has now been slightly revised, so it is republished.

Father said to be euthanized

It was a year ago

I was thinking

How to dissect this bad old man's head.

I try to understand what he thinks.

He says

Wish everyone died like

Ants drowned in honey jars.

I asked

Why don't you let go of your prejudices?

Why don't you reflect on your arrogance?

Why don't you know how to think critically?

Why you

changed?

he answered

I raised you but you treat me like this.

What do you know when you are young.

The world is as black as a crow. There are no good people in this world.

you must be

Badly taught by the teacher.

Terrible.

that's it

A terrible year has passed.

Now I learn to say,

It's none of my business.

I don't want to work hard

Recall that rich and barren soul.

I will never tell him again.

So be it.
