Wild Strawberries Mei Mei
Mama I don't want to run away You know that I could never stay If this letter never reaches home I wave goodbye to you and mei mei You know the placards and the common way You wore the hat that never fades You know the hatred for the grave Of everything you lost that day The rice grows faster than the hands can cut it down I can see it rising in the wind Withered palaces will never stop the rain from falling In between the cracks until the cracks turn into veins Flowing through another reign Don't fear the truth that holds the world away Don't fly the flag that never waves I saw a soldier with his gun Listening to the v.o.a. I curse the poster in the people's way I curse the bottle to its grave And even so I know this rage Connects me with the ones I hate Time will lay its peonies upon your bed Fate will hold you helpless in its net And like a quickly fading song How soon the world forgets
