I watch spring flow east like water,
Alone, I sail through rain in a straw cloak;
I raise a cup to the moon and drink,
And sing a song: what more could I want?
When doctors lack compassion, merchants lack integrity, teachers fail to live up to their image, and officials lack steadfast principles, morality and social order are turned upside down. Who can set things right and deliver justice that seems forever out of reach?
Must one walk through the deepest, darkest shadows to have any chance of exposing the vermin who create the darkness?
Only by cutting off their last hope can the night finally give way to light!
