The second earth

Oh! second earth, you are what i have cheerised
For a thousand decade.
My thirst for you will never quench!
Oh second earth, have you gone far than you can return to me
For old time' sake?
Who are responsible for your departure?
Those whose hands are soiled with your guilt;
Or those who fought your freedom?
To see a hand free from your wrath,your guilt is like to see a virgin in a labor room.
Oh second earth, little had i learnt
From you that you left me to be caressed in wrong hands.
I'll appologize if i have wronged you,
So that you can just halt, take a walk
Down the memory lane of history---
A time younger, we're like yellow roses
You remember?
But now, we are like red anemone flowers,
Seeing each other as an impertinent fellow,
Who have never conferred with each other.
Woe!to them that made you believe in absurdity,
They can't be free by the immunity of their injustice.
Oh!second earth, to keep mute about your departure,
Is like to bury an untreated hatchet
whose effect is concealed like the beauty of a daffodil at sunset.
...‘’i can't renain there for old time' sake,
I will wander to a place where justice is pivoted in equilibrium,
Where i would end the campaign, the race i have begun‘’
Oh second earth, i will keep on the venge
So long as your existence,
The truth must be told by exertion from better men,
That wlill make the truth an open secret before the virdict,
Whose judgement will revived their conscience from the graveyard of buried hope.
