The family day event
星期三 二月 20, 2008 9:33 pm
They start with a question, a promise,
hangs as a shiny apple, our spirits uplift.
We are conjured:
Now is the time
to refresh our life.
For years, we sat in a small cubicle,
thinking and dreaming . . .
the world beyond our box.
Finally, we celebrate our courage and determination
to come here for enlightenment and solution,
in an official holiday.
Yet, here we are,
sitting --
each, perfect audience.
Rows of speakers brag their success,
with an obvious purpose --
money!
This Family Day, their promise
fades away;
We smile with faint agreement,
they end with the goal of wealth.
