Topic of Interest:
Whether gun control has a significant influence on crime reduction

Why Is It Interesting?
The issue of gun control concerns various subjects such as the
role of the individual and the government in public security, the
political conflicts between interest groups pertaining to the firearms market,
the issue of finding an optimum model of public security for a
certain society, etc

Methodology
1. Introduce the issue along with a context on which I will base my
observations and reasoning on
2. Explore the arguments and the reasoning of the proponents
3. Explore the arguments and the reasoning of the opponents
4. Choose a side and explain

Possible evidences for consideration

2. Quotes
3. Interviews

Current position:
For a broad and socially complex nation such as the US, simply banning all possession of firearms isn't the optimum approach. There is also a question on how the maintenance of public security should be defined and implemented. More will be explored in this essay.

Stream of Consciousness #1

A day passes with questions and doubts
But no certainty as to their worth.

One may suggest a state of unbalance
Between the personal and others
Yet fail to see
The fissure between the right and wrong (simplistic).

All would amount
To a hill so far.


Amiability and decency
Are two peculiar twins:
Same in a moment,
Opposite in another.

Quite observable, especially during intermissions.


Am I simply missing out too much?
A matter of days to spare?
A matter of prudence?
A matter of dare?
At the mercy of circumstances and optimism?


All that's serious lies inside
Like the occasional light
between the quiet clouds
Floating heavily above my head.

They say that it will rain tomorrow.

I sit near a window
With a shard of thought:
Too trivial to embrace, too serious to neglect


And another day gone.

Manifesto 1

I am a desperate soul on a war with reason.

To fight in moment

For a subversive sun.

May humor triumph.

Why Serious

진지함에는 어느정도의 거리감이 있어야한다

특히 자신으로부터

November 23rd

오늘은 연평도 사건 1주년이 되는 날입니다.

이런 비극이 되풀이하지 않기를 바라며 묵념.

불안

길을 걷다

지나칠 뻔한

매실나무 한 그루.

무심코 손을 뻗어

생각없이 매만진

싱그러운 녹색.

내 눈동자는

그 어린 것을 굴리며

위를 본다.

어느덧

하늘이 익어올 때

불어온 생각:

'바람은 없었구나.'

구름들이 서서히

머리 위에 떠나갈 때

나는 그것을 쥐고

다리를 웅크린체

앉는다.

말 없는 가지들 아래서.

뒹구르는 그것 옆에서.

애수

하루가 선고되었을때

아침은 그저 벽 너머에서

지저귀는 그림자.

시계의 응시 아래서

태양은 궤도를 그을리며

굴러가고

이윽고 사라저버린 별들은

검푸른 회상 뒤에서

말없이 다닌다.

하루의 구름들은

그 타들어가는 바위를

위로 밀쳐올리고

솟아오르는 그림자를 맴도는

갸날픈 서풍은

낙엽을 언덕 아래로 보내고

이윽고

계곡의 저편에서

모든것들을 지켜보던

나무 한그루는

언제나 그래왔듯이

가지들을 내리어

잎사귀들을 적신다.

잎 하나가 가라앉을 때

떠나가는 것은

그저 하나의 약속인건가.
