PUER AETERNUS
A dimpled smile on his face；
The feeling of a superhero；
Who saved the day for the populace；
Even though his heroic deeds was zero.
All he did was pull out
A stubborn weed from its roots
But his facial joy was too loud；
I can't help but say the truth
Little deeds,lousy celebrations；
Oh dear,that's childhood.
Sixtysomething years a nation
And a substandard livelihood；
That's not what you extol；
Little achievements in big failures；
It's nothing but an ailment of the soul.
Called puer aeternus.
