Li, Yali

You don’t need to read news today
You know one name you know all
Michael Jackson
Headlining the media in human world

You don’t need to listen to radios today
You just open windows
Michael Jackson
Vibrating air with his singing and moonwalking

You don’t need to trace his growth
Searching trails of a brilliant shooting star
Michael Jackson
Lightning universe in his freewill

You don’t need to be emotional over comments
On his dreams, color, debts, or scandals
Michael Jackson
Orbiting his own mission like Moon and Sun

Teamwork

Trumpet Vine in Pine Tree

Who says pine does not blossom?
When it teams up with trumpet vine
Its glorious colors lighten sky and woods!

Who says trumpets cannot fly?
When vine teams up with pine
Its trumpets whisper to sun, moon, and stars!

Who says competition is only way to survive?
When trumpet vine and pine team up
Fragrant songs of triumph spread in air and echo in our hearts!
