The Field Never Lies

Some truths cannot be learned from theory or slogans.

They reveal themselves only where bodies move, skills are tested, and people face one another without disguise.

This poem listens to the voice of the field—a place that accepts no pretense and forgives no lies, yet nurtures both skill and humanity with unwavering honesty.

 

The Field Never Lies


There is pride in standing on the field,

where one puts their body on the line.

Skills honed over time are brought fully into play.

The work and the people you face respond with honesty—

tell a lie, and you are cast aside as a schemer.

 

There is tension in standing on a field charged with emotion.

Your immaturity is struck head-on.

Neither the work nor the people show mercy.

Tell a lie, and you will never be taken seriously again.

 

There is allure in standing on a field you sought out.

You focus—shrewdly, greedily, with full intensity.

The work and the people accept you as you are.

A place where lies are impossible—

the field is a contest of absolute sincerity.

 

There is resolve required to stand on a harsh field.

Your limits of ability are put to the test.

Neither the work nor the people allow refusal.

An atmosphere that admits no falsehood—

this is what the field is.

 

There are trials one always tastes on the field.

Even when you fail, you must not break.

Guided by the work and the people you face, you grow stronger.

Tell a lie, and all effort turns to dust.

 

Those who twist themselves corrupt the field.

Those who belittle the field are ignorant.

Those who ignore the field are shameless.

Those who spout nonsense on the field are unnecessary.

A field that nurtures people is founded on sincerity alone.

 

You stand on the field and devote yourself wholly to the work.

Beyond shared hardship lie empathy and achievement.

The joy and emotion of being recognized as fully capable.

Skills and humanity that take firm root within you.

A field that nurtures people—

never, ever, lies.

Knowing at Sunset　(New Year’s Card, 2026)

his poem reflects on life as it is seen at sunset— not as an ending, but as a moment when past light, lingering warmth, and the promise of a new dawn quietly coexist. Knowing at sunset — the gradations of a life. Passion has not yet cooled; the days bathed in sunlight now lie distant. Life glows in the lingering afterlight. Melting into sunset — the strange encounters a life bestows. Benevolence remains precious still; with the sun at one ’ s back, shadows are cast. Life resounds in the hues of evening. Cherishing the beauty of sunset — the last story of a life. Embers have not yet burned out; in the stillness that reaches culmination, one is suffused by a new sun.

To Those Guided by Young Children

This poem listens to life as it is reflected in young children— their gaze, their silence, their small questions. Each moment asks something of us, quietly but unmistakably, calling not for sentiment, but for responsibility, care, and action. To Those Guided by Young Children To meet the gaze of a young child demands a sincerity that faces them head-on. In a young child’s tears, an anger that must not be indulged is questioned. In a young child’s smile, the meaning of selfless joy is questioned. In a young child’s gestures, the warmth of an embracing presence is questioned. In a young child’s fragile voice, our readiness to respond without delay is questioned. In a young child’s silence, the wisdom to sense the heart beyond words is questioned. In a young child’s small questions, our breadth of vision toward the world is questioned In the radiance of a young child’s life, our resolve to protect the present is questioned. The peace a young child seeks without cease mu...

A World of Right and Wrong

This poem examines a world where the line between right and wrong is deliberately blurred. By questioning language, justification, and power, it confronts the moral evasions that sustain domination and asks what happens when self-overcoming is refused.   A World of Right and Wrong   When facing a matter, we must examine our way of thinking. We must examine our use of words. We must examine our everyday conduct.   What is the basis that claims alignment with reason? What is the basis for asserting what is “ right ” ? What is the basis for believing one is doing good?   Is a slip of the tongue a lie meant to protect oneself? Is a mocking laugh arrogance that looks down on others? Is failure nothing more than shifting responsibility?   Self-serving values are proclaimed as legitimate. Self-centered ethics are boasted as humanitarian. Ego-driven morality is substituted for education.   One secures absolute c...
