a person has fallen again from their high heavenly position.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>I fell asleep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Like a child who seems to know.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>There is no return when leaving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>I only shouted; no&#8230; don&#8217;t go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Tonight, whatever rain falls, it is for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Life dies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>There, where the sufferings are stronger than bones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>You are not here to see.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>How much I have suffered, mother.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>My life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Dirty and thin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>From dream to dream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Oh, my hungry and meaningless days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>My poor heart!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>You must be happier than staying in my heart.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>But in the indifferent eyes of fate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>How sad it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Meeting of the Thieves and Bandits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Tonight, whatever rain falls, it is for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>They threw life off their shoulders into the valley.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>In the furnace lies the path of suffering and hope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>And the old man runs towards home.<\/p>\n<p

justify;\">\n<p>The bullet hole has been found!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>I told him\/her I won&#8217;t die.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>That crumbling down a small stone does not diminish the awe of the mountain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>But why does the mother cry from the seas?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Tonight, whatever rain falls, it is for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Flying is the truth of making a bird to the sky.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>&#8220;And the suffering of truth is human.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>So why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Should we account for enduring suffering?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>I wish I knew.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Which hand will gently pull your body out from under the rubble.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

at the prison.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>That they have experienced the cage themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Beyond the night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>The thorny wires scratch the clouds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>They were definitely birds, if the wind didn&#8217;t carry them away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>They were definitely birds.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Abraham was certainly alive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Tonight, whatever rain falls, it is for me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>And man is faced with the endless helplessness of this long robe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>How lonely it is with its sorrows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>If not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>All these tears at the foot of this tree.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>Surely a sprout is growing from it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>We have died on this platform many times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p>And every time anew.<\/p>\n<p
