The launch of the report coincides with the initiation by WHO of the global strategy for the prevention and control of osteoporosis, and I think a good partnership could be established in our common efforts to prevent osteoporosis.

Report
What is report?
Report is established,
Not demanded.
Seduction to manipulate
Premeditated moves
Will not sit well with someone else
You wish to impress
With what you offer that's approved.
One seeking report
Leaves these aggressions at the door.
If not one will find rejection...
Without another reception.
And having report,
Is what one should never first ignore!
'You mean 'ree'pour? '
Report is like giving a grade.'
And 'ree'pour is like giving what?
'Having class! '
Well,
What do you get in a 'class'?
'A report! '
Let's see...
If you report to class with 'ree'pour',
You'll get a good grade!

A state is not a mere society, having a common place, established for the prevention of mutual crime and for the sake of exchange...Political society exists for the sake of noble actions, and not of mere companionship.

Turbulence ties
Ties strong
In strategy
Though vibrancy
Difficult to measures.
Quibbling with words
Common and regular
Glaring contradiction
With global consensus
Ties turbulent.
Trust mistrust
Distrust ruled
In full swing
Roller coaster
Failed to move.

A Peaceful Day
they say i am a sad man
living in a mournful house
with no one
the windows look
like stooping eyelids
the door like the backbone
of an old woman with
osteoporosis
the wall are blank like
a blackboard with nothing to say
those who visit my place
feel the loneliness of the air
as though someone is recently buried
when you come back to the house
and do nothing but gaze
at the bleakness of the hours
i am confident about my
existence
and i tell them
that they are all wrong about me
i like this day
with no one around me
It is the most peaceful
day i ever had.
i feel so rested like a
man sleeping on a rocking chair
while watching a Love Story
with the sound in the Off mode.
i am contemplating on the sounds of
the footsteps of the souls
of those who had long departed
most interestingly of those who
want to stay

The Temple Of Zhuge Liang
Zhu-ge's great name
hangs over the whole world;
the revered statesman's portrait
awes with its sublimity.
The empire carved into thirds
hindered his designs,
yet he soars through the ages,
a lone feather in the sky.
He is brother to such greats
as Yi Yin and Lu Shang;*
if he had established control,
Xiao and Cao would be forgotten.
But the cycle had passed; Han fortunes
could not be restored.
His military strategy a failure,
his hopes dashed, his body perished.
Miss Jones
Her lower jaw
(a class three, my dentist father
would have termed it)
jutted forward pugnaciously.
He hair hung limp,
pinned at the side.
Her body hunched crab-like
(probably osteoporosis) .
She wore cream blouses,
stout shoes
and a cardigan
when it was cold.
She adored Mr. Cuthbertson
(head of radio drama)
with the fierce passion
of a lonely spinster.
She fussed over his tea,
typed his memos lovingly.
Her Christian name was Aimee.
Sad really.
At her retirement party
Mr Cuthbertson pecked her on the cheek.
She blushed hotly
and happily.
