The Suspicion Behind Righteousness

This poem examines the unsettling nature of “righteousness” drifting through society, politics, and the information sphere.
It conveys distrust and warning toward an era in which injustice and deception are cleverly justified under the banners of justice and morality.
Through reflections on social media, manipulated public opinion, conformity, and silence, the poem ultimately seeks to preserve faith in conscience and human ethics.


The Suspicion Behind Righteousness

A strange ability to endure the torment of conscience.
Once believed righteous, even wrongdoing becomes “justice.”
Though stained by corruption, they still insist they are right.
The axis of ethics begins to warp.

They forcefully claim it is merely a difference in interpretation.
Calmly dismiss it as only a difference in values.
Wrongdoing is sealed away by sophistry.
Ethics gradually distorts faith itself.

Hostile forces are struck down without mercy.
SNS, LINE, and YouTube are all mobilized.
Even when accused of corruption, they deny involvement without concern.
Ethics itself becomes the distortion of common sense.

How pitiful are the weak who conform.
Even free will is stolen, blown about like the wind.
Decision-making loses its strength and becomes hollow.
Ethics is covered over by taboos and distortions.

Norms wear the mask of justice.
Ideological control silences dissent.
Demonstrations are met with forceful suppression.
Ethics remains silent before the distortions of rulers.

Without knowing the truth, falsehoods are spread.
Without knowing true intentions, people become complicit in corruption.
Without knowing reality, deception is supported.
Ethics comes to appear as if it tolerates distortion.

Yet the voices of people with conscience grow louder each day.
Believing in righteous action, they begin to walk forward.
They question those who feign indifference and avoid involvement.
Ethics exists to correct the distortions of human society.

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...
