                   WABI-SABI (BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION)

                       1.

                   Tall grass sways
                   in an unkempt city garden—
                   a quiet liberation.

                       2.

                   A lotus blooms
                   on a murky pond,
                   its smile untainted by the dirt.

                       3.

                   Monday to Friday,
                   morning to evening,
                   we run the endless race—
                   they call it freedom
                   in a “free” city.

                       4.

                   Wide, straight roads gleam,
                   people in sleek cars glide,
                   but hearts and minds
                   smothered under tar.

                       5.

                   Do birds envy humans,
                   hoarding for security?
                   Yet the birds never go hungry—
                   while people often do.
