하루마다 쌓이는 순간들의 결말들을 보면 업이라는것도 그저 말일뿐이라는 생각과 함께 눈길 하나 내비치지 않았던 낙엽들 생각이 든다. 무수했던 계절들의 잔재들을 밟고 왔는데 아무 생각없이 그들을 지나치며 차디찬 바람을 만끽하던 그 시절, 그 어렸던 시절도, 어디론가 가버린것 같다.
결국 눈만 번뜩인다. 무언가를 기다리듯이.
이제 어느 계절이 내 그림자를 밟게 될까.

Topic of Interest - Gun Control
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
1. Statistics
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.
But no certainty as to their worth.

Manifesto 1
I am a desperate soul on a war with reason.
To fight in moment
For a subversive sun.
May humor triumph.

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.
