AWAKENING THE WORLD (Seven character)




It is difficult to say whether the note here should be Old Style, Quatrain or P’agyŏk. The poem repeats characters, folk song style. The rhyme is pin/kyun/in.

Starvation and satiety embrace different situations, but worry is always the same.

I wish for neither poverty nor riches.

I want to be ordinary, neither rich nor poor.
