I did waited in vain—but it’s okay

Nothing is harder

Than waiting for something

That is not coming at all.

It’s like looking for a river in a desert;

Or foreseeing a fish to walk;

Worse, gain global peace genuinely—fantasy!

Sadly, time is an invincible adversary.

Years of looking at sand clock is not funny.

It’s exhausting, really.

“Can I Ask You Something?“

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.

Hello, sir/ma’am,

Whatever your pronoun—

You don’t have to ask my permission

To “ask something,”

Go straight in asked in your question.

In writing, it’s a mortal sin;

Not to be direct and succinct.

You got to say what you mean;

And mean what you say.

It’s almost the same as asking me

“Can I kill you?”

Well, sir/ma’am

You already did.
