Not satisfied with how fear eats our hearts, 
sad bear of solitude climbs the glass tower 
to harvest pears from Tree of Innocence 
so all the children in the starving land 
may eat sweet happiness of honesty 
though bombs disperse their lonely families. 

Erasing names from road signs with his blood, 
sad bear of solitude captures sunlight 
with paint he smears on blank cathedral walls 
through call for revolution against hate 
till teachers on vacation at the beach 
throw weird unwritten novels to the wind. 

Regretful for how maps conceal the truth, 
sad bear of solitude programs our brains 
to navigate our global maze of myths 
while riding turtles with ten thousand eyes 
so we can contemplate with casual rage 
vain emptiness in social games we play. 

While parking cars behind the shopping mall, 
sad bear of solitude redesigns chess 
back to its original social roles 
where bishops are princesses in tall towers 
and queens are precious heirs of properties 
while kings lead knights to build empires on laws. 

Honored by award of celestial pride, 
sad bear of solitude allocates faith 
for crowds of revelers on river walks 
who celebrate night of the Harvest Moon 
while he plays haunting tunes on white jade flute 
to hide the sounds of bombs exploding hope. 

Climbing to top of Snake Pagoda hall, 
sad bear of solitude investigates 
obsessive state of mind that humans hide 
while driving cars in circles of success 
despite the arrogance of butterflies 
who land on razor wires of paradise. 

Trapped by fierce wildfire in the wilderness, 
sad bear of solitude steals devil wings 
but fails to escape political games 
fought between localists and globalists 
in civil war they play in cyberspace 
to prove he is the King of Everywhere. 

Awake in palace of the singing ghost, 
sad bear of solitude commissions God 
to reinvent the wheel of cosmic fate 
so people of the world unite their hearts 
in pledge to honor liberty for all 
till snow erases mankind from the Earth.
