The Huangpu River
German Swiss Interantional School , Micromatis , Anna - 11
The leaves , gossiping about my every move Rustled and stirred . The wind whispers its promises And whistles with the birds .
This doesn ’ t stop me as I cunningly sneak , To reach the sparkling Huangpu River . A small , silvery oasis A mesmerising restless mirror .
Sunset light dances on its surface , Its performance warming the air . Illuminating the shimmering river Twinkling without a care .
I sway my tail to the beat Of the whistling on the breeze from heaven . I wanted to dance in the moonlight , I thought it would be like this forever .
Oh how I was wrong Living in this novice . The birds would not coo their lullaby , The wind would not whisper its promise .
The sixteenth century , as the oak trees call , Changed my life completely . I saw a stone wall over a thousand feet long As I regarded it weakly !
The two-legged creatures , Ren Lei , Erected that oppressive structure that made me shiver . It blocked me off , all nature , all animals , The worst thing , they blocked me off Huangpu River .
After that , life changed , And now I distrusted the humans . A can ’ t sway my tail to the beat And loathed every man and woman .
