Scarcity and suppressed energies,
If the fire doesn't burn, then move on
The mother is fighting a terrible war.
She sweats to water her son's future
And, giving to the stone to eat his own body
She fights a war with hammer and stone.
A crackling sound when the hammer swings ceaselessly
The mother cannot even hear her son's screams
When she hears it, she is scared.
She clings to her arms and sucks her breast alternately
And, the mother drops tears like sweat on the son's forehead.
Mother feels every moment looking at her son's face-
Like getting the world!
It's like winning even if you lose!
Like water changing color,
Mother's dreams and desires are also changing.
Sorry!
They are breaking like stones
A mother's beliefs and hopes
