Mother and Fatherland

Mother giving birth
From soft gut nipple
Nine months of pregnancy and ten days of labor
Oh, the soft, multi-layered intestines
Wide as the ocean
A lifetime of tolerance
Mother's love is endless
When the child hurts, the mother hurts.
Cold child, cold mother
I am happy, all my hardships disappear.
*
Suddenly one day the invaders invaded.
The fatherland is in pain, the sound of gunfire resounds.
heart broken
Mother sees her son off to war
Restless worry. Pity the soft intestines
Mom doesn't expect anything
Just hope the war is over. My child comes back. Two words of peace.
*
Oh! Fatherland!
Only You are sacred enough
Convince Mom
Voluntarily give away the soft, young intestines
To night night
On the doorstep
Quietly mother waits
Blurred the moonlight.
