Look yonder in the yawn,
There is John
An image of diligence, consciousness and curiosity,
That never went gone
Who has no siblings in that vacant house
Pursuing for harmony, wisdom, realization, and nothing else
Feel excited in the morning, sleepy afternoon
and melancholy wells up under the moon
Wandering in the bamboo forest, peering at the sea,
doing such things that others think fool
He often helpful, sometimes quibble,
pointing out the issue in his mumble
Escape from oppression, fear of imperfection,
unwilling to succumb to his limitation
Dream to see tolerance, acceptance and consciousness on earth
But he lived in China since his birth
Until one day, he went on the plane
With suitcases of two, his name is Su
