East Meets West
Delia School of Canada , Lee , Jung Yoon - 14
A mixture of East and West , in attempt to carve a niche , Dark and busy atmosphere blind from the blue-gray sky . The reflection on the water of boys letting out a screech , And rowing wooden boats in railway bridge of Shanghai . Old women carrying loads , always full of overcast day works , And young women dancing to jazz songs , Full of ruinous holes in their minds .
At night , street is filled with overworked but relaxed men . Holding beers and cigarettes once again , A woman in a red wine dress and full make up , Is barely seen . Off stage , she ’ s never the one to sanguine , Instead , her soul is filled with anguish . A woman , I call mom .
Day and night , day in and day out , Hard work will pay off . But what about the boys rowing wooden boats , And woman who dances to Jazz all night long , To feed her one and only daughter . Dark and black society where , Marginalizes bright colors to blind the truth .
