JIN BI LU
Where are you Jin Bi Lu?
They´ve almost left nothing remaining of you
You disappeared without hate and complaint
I know you from a much better time
Where are you Jin Bi Lu?
Patiently beared all the traffic through
To destroy is so easy, to construct is quite hard
especially when everything is forced to be done at once
The night is deep and everything lays still
- cold, blue moonlight
Your former people are scattered like the clouds
after an obviously short trial
There shouldn´t be expected too much from the forthcoming
new world, because it will not bring full satisfaction
Your sacrifice won´t be documented in the history books
but everybody witnessed what has happened
O, remember well what an alley this was!
History rolls on and everyone is part of it
Useless to mourn, maybe I´m a dreamer
but radical solutions make me fear!
