The Ethana Grass of Suffering
On the quadrangle of century
see the custom of mounting
the growth of ethana grass of suffering
Universally sufferings are muscular.
How much ehana grass of suffering
Buddha's shovels rooted off
from the field of century
See the disciples not clearing transaction.
You must watch, keep watching —
The earth submerged in the Pacific of tears
Devil's grass of suffering growing tenderly
over the sepulcher of Supermen
and a vicious wind blowing on it
Through your eyes that is against suffering
do watch at the eyes of the trapped nation
the going-to-burst-out ponds of pains.
In our life throughout
keeps painfully aching
the Thursday of devastation
that devoured Nagasaki in a single guzzle
and planted the ethana grass of atomic agony.
Meticulously I'm seeking
an epoch-like sickle
that could comfortably cut
the thorny couch grass of suffering
and I could sow
on the square of century
hundreds of seeds of
Truth, Benevolence and Beauty.
On the quadrangle of century
see the custom of mounting
the growth of ethana grass of suffering
Universally sufferings are muscular
