CHINESE CHARACTERS

I see lines
Lines parrallel
Lines horizontal
Lines creating shed-like boxes
To hold other characters like mothers hold their babies
Few arcs bend like willing prostitutes
As other strikes act like working spears
Crossing to mate like goats in the midst of their young
What about the little strikes hiding like babies on the backs of their mothers?
What at all are these?
As if aluminum-falling-like names aren’t enough
Chan! Chan! Makes the noisiest mess ever
Why confuse us with conundrumed lines paraded as words?
Still, you are skillfully talented to create such a mess
And make it meaningfully beautiful
A beautiful mess that is

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
