Politics are the branches, economics are the roots 2. Showing off power is a sign of weakness 3. Food, Clothing, and Shelter is where politics and economics meet 4. Crisis is external strength, prosperity is inner strength 5. Individual and national values are not universal 6. Structure and system are like water 7. Economics drives politics, and politics must move heart 8. Doing your own thing is a witness of weakness 9. Leader must lead with mutual trust, not unilateral fear.
10. Liberation is coming from isolation, not going to isolation.

rough waters
an endless sea of doom
sailors and passengers,
and the captain
are still sailing
Clouds over a blue sea
The moonlight becomes fog
and the stars twinkle
Taste like porridge
an atmosphere of hopelessness,
a ship in pieces,
and the harbor in their eyes
It is beckoning.......
Now, one by one, the peoples are lowered
the old man,
the women,
the children.
And then it is our turn
shivering in the freezing cold
Closer and closer to the sea
bells ring
people left behind gathered
at the top of the ship
But a boat appear
And it is a bigger boat than a big ship
A Lighthouse Keeper
running toward US
We get on the boat
on the extremist waves.

Commodities are prices

As you walk away
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
Guillotine fear is ******* into
the tunnel of frozen air
Mountain peaks watching from afar
becoming a writer's blade
White edge of manuscript paper
trembling
Night Winter prepares to leave. Already.
It hesitates at a fork
over wild cat's eyes
you say, "Come again"
It prepares to leave It
makes a moan
Mixing vinegar and hot peppers
Falls and falls and falls
The glasses come off
in the corner
The ice hockey player
In between life and death in an unjust war
Van Gogh's two eyes
Chopin's two hands
And with the vibration of a throbbing pulse
spring permeates into late winter
Winter permits early spring.

Old river speaks
Yonah Jeong Oct 2024
The river never moves
Slithering
Snake steps like a tortoise
while leaving traces
The river shows the way out

The old river water
falls over the dam
leaving behind shining smiles
to look at the eggs
The river shows us the EXIT

We don't know
The joy in hardship
Sandy fields
We are here for you
for you. What a beautiful breath!

Even if you only blink your eyes
The river, the old river,
the old river stir
The unwavering sea and the stars
and says, ‘Why do you love me?’

Wife warns
"you:
get angry very well
do not take care of appearance
do not know the power of money
human relationship are not good
eating food is too picky
just say what want to say
selfish
repetitive force
and intolerance.

nevertheless
i live in peace

the reason:
with old parents in the 90's
under the May sun
hanging the laundry
sharing the happy conversation
even in the COVID-19 pandemic.

leaves of various shapes and colors

they are stepped on and trampled

my confession

I'm reminded of the poet's words,
“Keep money and honor away from you,”

I'm tempted to indulge.

A Glass Window
Yonah Jeong May 16
When looking at the forest
through the glass window

It is not the sound of the forest
The cry of love
Audible loudly and very loudly

When looking at lover
through the glass window

It is not the sound of lover
The cry of love
Audible loudly and very loudly

When looking at freedom
through the glass window

It is not the sound of freedom
The cry of love
Audible loudly and very loudly.

right also streams
A day with write burning
distant fire
leaking out from the extinguished past
excitinng fire,
Even I weaken it
If I put it away
spreading gaily at night
YOU
SPARSELY clear
between the cracks
educating Day by Day,
life of lives,
Where is unwavering love?

Our Publisher

I am correcting the poem
Afternoon April coming into the window
It was so beautiful
I couldn't help but go out

I sat in front of my desk again
Think about it

A famous writer or an unknown writer
Respecting together
Our publisher
Proud

Famous or unknown
Focusing on the writer
Our publisher
Lovely

When the time comes
Famous and unknown change seats
Knowing this wisdom
Our publisher is great

If I get a little bored
Borrowed from the library
Video movie, "The Walker"
I should see it once more.

they didn't hate me
They were just different from me
I believed the difference

“You wore a different hat from
yesterday!”.

water purifier
Ice fragments pouring
from the plastic box
and filling the cup
make a sound
becoming water
To be the blood of lovers
their songs sing
not to turn one
but the sacrificial passion
and an offering of love offered
by two of one.

a Snowy night
Yonah Jeong Feb 9
let's open the door
wire is heavy, and it becomes
a swinging rope.
sky becomes clouded with breath
streetlights are dim
NIGHT
neighbor's stairs are covered in snow
streets are quiet
snowflakes on my eyebrows
I blink my eyes
never talked about
before the neighbor's house
across the street
even in the old shovel sack
beautifully
just barely
snow is piling up
snowing night
without sound
absorbing the sound
like a curve, not a straight line
while dancing
that will fade away like youth
that will disappear like youth
flower-like flakes are coming.......

About her 2
Yonah Jeong Apr 12
She
always hiding in the books
never appears to me
even if I laugh
even if I cry
even if I whisper
even if I happy
usually invisible
she comes to me
every time I write
it seems impossible also it is possible
because it belongs to her
starts to twinkle with stars
is love.
