The following poem is from Brother Anthony, a monk of the Taize order, who also happens to be Professor at Sogang University in Seoul. He is British, but has lived in Seoul for since 1980 and is a remarkable translator and author. He has offered the non-Korean speaking community some wonderful exposure to Korean literature. I always read his work whenever it appeared in newspapers or magazines. I encourage you to go to his website and have a look around.
Fable
Earth’s dream and drift
the globe in revolution
pursues its destined course
leaving the blood to dry
that seeps from all the wounds
lacerations in its sides
work of strange creatures
intent on mutual battle
The earth is silent dumb
no complaint trails behind it
the sun pretends to doze
Such incredible anonymity :the earth’s timidity
the sun’s indifference
