Lin Yutang said the end of the day is near
When small men cast long shadows
But there is no need for fear
From the shadows will emerge heroes.
A long shadow blankets our country
We seem to be in a state of regression
The political situation is cause for worry
Patriotic hearts bleed for the nation.
Long shadows are also cast by the rising sun
But these are not eternal
At midday there is none
There is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Once we exit from the gloom
A brighter future is in store
Like flowers in glorious bloom
Our hopes will be restored.
