The Realization of the Loss of Kindness

This poem serves as a warning, portraying a world in which human kindness has been lost and that loss has become reality. It unfolds a step-by-step vision of an apocalyptic landscape where hatred and violence become ordinary, and ethics and empathy collapse. Domination and subjugation, the technologization of killing, and the destruction of environment and life are depicted not as distant fantasies but as emerging realities. The poem expresses a profound sense of crisis about the erosion of humanity and questions what we must choose now.

 

“The Realization of the Loss of Kindness”

 

In this world, human kindness is breaking down.

It becomes a world filled with hatred.

Killing becomes an everyday sight.

Revenge becomes the norm.

 

In this world, human kindness disappears.

It becomes a world of destruction and plunder.

Only inhuman acts are permitted.

Survival depends solely on brutal attacks.

 

In this world, human ugliness spreads.

Armed groups become organized.

The governed are forced into submission.

The rulers turn killing into AI-driven games.

 

In this world, human evil spreads.

Hostile forces compete for dominance.

Those who rebel are ruthlessly eliminated.

Victors justify themselves, rejoicing with demonic faces.

 

Cities fall into ruin, filled with the stench of death.

Devastation refuses reconstruction.

Machines are broken—nothing can be produced.

Fields lie barren—nothing can be grown.

Seas are polluted—nothing can be caught.

 

People suffer and die from starvation and disease.

The birth of life holds no meaning.

They merely join the procession of the dead.

The countdown to extinction reaches its end.

 

Nuclear plants are abandoned, left to contaminate.

Ash of death quietly falls upon the earth.

Victors and losers alike lie beneath the ash.

Thus, a fleeting prosperity comes to its end.

 

Written on April 23, 2021.

On April 18, 2026, the imagined end of the world now confronts us as a reality. The violent actions driven by military power suggest a near future of dominance by powerful nations. Whether a ceasefire will hold remains uncertain, as it may easily be broken. Nations unwilling to yield to threats are beginning to raise their voices.

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...
