Driving Towards Auschwitz

Driving Towards Auschwitz


in my dream last night
I lost my driver's license
so I went to the  county office to get one

a smiling clerk greeted me
and issued me a new license
he was Heinrich Himmler

I walked over to the parking lot
got into my car and started driving
towards Auschwitz Concentration Camp

Welcome To Salt Lake City
by Suchoon Mo

I am going to Salt Lake City
a Mormon city
the cradle of Church of Latter Day Saints

I am flying to Salt Lake City
in a Delta Airlines jet airplane

I hear a young  woman flight attendant speaking
relentlessly too fast for me to make any sense

she sounds like saying

ladies and gentlemen
we are descending
please buckle your seat belt securely
until it falls apart

Syria And Silk Road

Syria And Silk Road
 
G20 Meeting in St Petersburgh signals the sift of the world geoplitics from Eruope to Central Asia, as proclaimed by President Xi of China in his "Silk Road" speech. This dovetails with President Putin's clear signal that Russia will not tolerate inroad of Political Moslem into Central Asia. The present Syrian crisis is but an early skirmish of the dynamics of Eurasian geopolitics. European Christ...ianity (Roman Empire) cast off Syriac (Nestorian) and Egyptian (Coptic) Christianity. Now they are being hyounded by Moslem Jihadists. But, the old Silk Road is being built. What are the British and the French going to do? It is about time that we study what Ashoka did with Greeks and Syrians, and what Buddha said to the Greek king Menander.See More

Wind Shift in Obama Foreign Policy

I predict disengagement of US foreign policy emphasis from Europe and Near East and shifting of its direction to the Pacific Rim, including the Latin America. This will lead to economic resurgence of the US. The choice of next Secretary of State is critical. It is probable that John Huntsman may be taken into serious consideration.   Such bi-partisan foreign policy strengthens the US credibility in dealing with third world issues.


It is quite significant that President Obama's first post-election state visit is to Burma which is not only an Asian, but also a Buddhist, nation.

from "Frog Mantra"

He Went To His Own Funeral

he woke up
dressed
brushed his teeth
drank a cup of coffee
and went to the church
it was his own funeral
I never saw him since
they must have buried him

Moral Principle and Political Direction of Olympic Taekwondo

It has been the guiding moral dictum of Olympic Taekwondo that small nations be given fair and just opportunity to compete and win Olympic medals. London Olympics has fulfilled this mission. Great Britain is great in this sense. The sharp contrast to Beijin Olympics is starkly evident. Taekwondo athletes from Gabon, Serbia, Afghanistan, etc. are to be recognized and commended.
