Tanka: Under the Sun

Crises sharpen minds:
Escaping to the country
Starting a new life
We must reclaim who we are
Our freedom under the sun

Tanka: Mad Situation

Did I ask for this?
Who’s forcing it upon me?
I say take it down
I will refuse to kowtow
My life is always my own

Tanka: Manifesto

No left and no right
I exist at the centre
My family first
My community second
Building blocks of the nations
