I Thought, Thought, Thought, But
I thought I would reach my destination
Without obstacles
I thought I would overcome my opponents
With tolerating and respecting
I thought I would win hearts and minds
With smiling and honesty
I thought I would defeat evil-minded
With angelic character
I thought I would execute peace
With equality and justice
I thought I would embrace humanity
With harmony and love
I thought I would become a hero
With that moves
I thought my dreams would come true
With truth and determination
But ah, alas,
When I awoke from a wounded dream
I realized that
My black hair had turned white
My body features had caught wrinkles
My years had disappeared behind the journey
I stayed alone with my simplicity.
My thoughts were only thoughts
As a meaningless notion as hopeless my life.
