Master Woo Myung Poetry – Our Forebears
There were people living long ago,
a long, long time ago.
They lived lives
without knowing the reason why;
they lived without knowing what life is,
or what love is.
They departed to the afterworld
unaware of the reason or purpose
and they did not come back.
Their many, unspoken stories
also disappeared.
Those that came after them
do not know what they lived for.
-Woo Myung-
