Hundred Schools of Philosophical Thought

Cao Chao

满月腾夜空
凉风刮冰雪
园中无花开
壮年书生观
美景让人忘
人间多混乱
孤独试天下
何处能避风

man yue teng ye kong
liang feng gua bing xue
yuan zhong wu hua kai
zhuang nian shu shen guan
mei jin rang ren wang
ren jian duo hun luan
gu du shi tian xia
he chu neng bi feng

The full moon soars into the night sky
The cold wind blows snow and ice
In the garden, no flowers bloom
The scholar in the prime of his life watches
The beauty scenery allows one to forget
The myriad chaos within the world of man
Alone, I ponder the world
I wonder where is there shelter?

Zo heard of an area in which scholars convened to discuss anything from philosophy to politics. He found interest in such ideological pursuits. He arrived on a very pristine night, and heard the lines of a pome recited. "Interesting poem." Zo remarked, from the back of the man "I suppose I found my refuge in meditation and religion." He paused, as he moved in front of the man and bowed, "I am Zo. Have you too come here for scholarly discussion? Your poem would suggest so."


Little Lady Xiao heard the soft voice speaking
A sad poem from a scholar's heart crying~
Little Lady Xiao was hidden from above
Up in a tree and nestled like a dove~

Little Lady Xiao heard one speak of religion
And something about, a bit of meditation~
Little Lady Xiao expected to hear some debate
Quietly listened along as the night gets late~

Little Xiao, Little Xue [ Part 6 ]

SW

[Li Jun was standing by listening
So happy that the lady giving her service
He walked over to give her a hug
And subse......... @&#@*#&^@&^#]

Rephrased
Li Jun was standing nearby somewhere when he heard the lady agreed to assist him in rebuilding Yunnan. He broke all manners of courtesy and protocols, he walked and thank Lady Xiao profusely, "I am Li Jun and I am so glad you decided to assist me. Thank you so much Lady Xiao!" Li Jun uses his sleeves to wipe his tears of joy away.

[YEAH~~~ Welcome Green! Please post your OI please in the officer's OI thread]


Little Lady Xiao almost stumbled in her seat
For coming out of nowhere, was quite a feat~
Little Lady Xiao quickly regained her composure
Only to find the prefect's face, now filled with moisture~

Little Lady Xiao says; "Prefect Li Jun, please do not cry."
"I'll try to help with what I can and so, I will try."
Little Lady Xiao then lowered down her head.
Already thinking now, of the complications ahead~

Little Lady Xiao's own sources, knew a thing or two
Of the living horrors out there, can be scary true~
Little Lady Xiao said; "People suffer while we sit.."
And then she mumbled meekly; "Oh, can you do it?"~

Little Xiao, Little Xue [ Part 5 ]

LDW

The scroll had the words inscribed in detail,
all the benefits which joining the Yun Nan force entailed
There is good pay, ranks, riches and protection offered,
and a note which says to put in anything else preferred.

There is freedom of speech, and protection from disgrace
There is equality of rights for man and woman of every race
"Here we will treasure your service and serve you as you serve
"Here you will gain everything you rightfully deserve."

"With all dear respect Lady Xiao," he added
"There is great danger in everyplace inhabited,
we only seek your loyalty, which we place highest among virtues
here we seek it, and when given, we give it back to you."


Little Lady Xiao laughed again, just like before
Having read an offer, she couldn't ask for more~
Little Lady Xiao could do nothing but agree
Finally a real chance, to set some hearts free~

Little Lady Xiao spoke; "Of loyalty and such, there is no problem."
"I only wish a guard or two, to work with in tandem~"
Little Lady Xiao added; "The safety my family, is all my heart's wish."
"Promise me that and nothing a task I cannot accomplish~"

Little Lady Xiao then gave a slight little pause
Keeping to herself, as if in eternal repose~
Little Lady Xiao tells; "I'll promise to tell you, friend from foe apart."
And the thief wonders now; "So, when can I start?"

Little Xiao, Little Xue [ Part 4 ]

LDW

Stern Marshal Peng shook his head in reply
"Though its better to have come with the sun up high"
A sigh escaped his lips, observations at full bloom
amidst the cold night air filling the room

"Would you like some tea, my dear?" he asked gallantly
"or perhaps some fruit to sate you if you're hungry"
because stern Marshal Peng would not downplay her long journey
troubling as it is that she arrived so quickly

"You must know why I asked you here," he began after a while
He took a long scroll from his neatly folded files
I'd like you to see what we have to offer you
that we may convince you to serve my brother Jun


Little Lady Xiao's smooth brows did slightly raise
Yet an expression on her face, there was no trace~
Little Lady Xiao spoke a little word of "Thank you."
"Yes, the travel has made me, a little parched too"~

Little Lady Xiao then gave a thought and pondered
Took sight of the scroll, what the marshal offered~
Little Lady Xiao was glad, it's straight to business.
Taking the offer; "Now let's see what this is.."~

GreenFabre Says Thank You Lo~

a humble rhyme to say our little thank you
for all the big things and stuff that you do~
may simrtk last till three-oh-oh-one
the romance be told, time and again, to everyone~


Little Xiao, Little Xue [ Part 3 ]

LDW

The captain nodded, and led the way towards the depths
Making sure to caution the little lady's every step
The darkness may be intimidating and scary for little Lady Xiao
and so he determined to bring her to Peng's quarters then and now

The torches blazed with orange crackles against the walls,
upon which the history of the past beckon and call
The armors proudly in display seemed to clatter with their past
Making the humble guard move carefully but fast

Touching a great bronze door after an eternity of night,
he opened them, and what greeted was warm and bright
The young Marshal Li, on his desk at this late hour
thanked the guard and told him to close the door

"Welcome milady, to Yun Nan" he greeted with a stern smile,
"Surely you have crossed before you many a li and mile;
rest, and find comfort in our safe havens,
and let us then discuss why this0 road to us you have taken."


Little Lady Xiao looked at this way and that
Black eyes staring, observing, like a cat~
Little Lady Xiao took her passage rather slowly
Of the paths they walked, duly noted in memory~

Little Lady Xiao laughed and offered a greet
Bowing once again; "A pleasure to meet"~
Little Lady Xiao then stood on her ground
Can't help herself but start looking around~

Little Lady Xiao's mouth then mumbled simply
"Have I gone a long way? Oh, not really.."~
Little Lady Xiao suddenly felt her mind perturbed
"Im sorry, its quite late, I may have disturbed.."~

Little Xiao, Little Xue [ Part 2 ]

LDW

The guards at the gate pondered in awe,
who is this tiny lady in the dark they just saw?
They hairs on their backs stood distinctly tall,
as they watched her move towards their torch-lit hall.

The gate captain bared his head and addressed her courteously,
"Welcome miss, to Yun Nan. To whom may I take you directly?
The Lord Li Jun, tired from work, must now be in bed,
hence we may take you to Marshal Peng if you please instead."


Little Lady Xiao smiled warmly as she then bowed
To the captain that spoke, with good manners abound~
Little Lady Xiao's face lit up at the question
Handing out the letter, to answer in fashion~

Little Lady Xiao gently scratched her cheek.
Watching the captain's face, right as he speak~
Little Lady Xiao made a smile quite smart.
Gently told the guard, "And so we start."~

Little Xiao, Little Xue

Little Lady Xiao silently watched the big fortress.
Basking in the night, torches burning with distress~
Little Lady Xiao moved with the shadows and stealth.
Gently gripping a short knife tucked nicely on her belt~

Little Lady Xiao wondered with her back on a wall.
Coming here in Yun Nan, for a courtesy call~
Little Lady Xiao moved out of the shadows with the letter.
Walked casually towards the gate, and found it better~

A Time of Troubles

Note: I think this is the final version fro this poem lo~

Ruthlessly unstoppable, scaling the highest climb
Stepping, biting on each other, like the rabid blind.
For honor means nothing for the truly hungry.
Hear the wardrums from their bellies: misery, misery.

There are some who claim to be morally upright
With kin and friends and fight the good fight.
Building palisades and walls to scare them bandits
They've done this and that, let's roll the credits.

Treachery, death, and war sits on our doorsteps.
And time seems to drag on like little baby footsteps.
The people are sleeping with dread, and scanty little hope.
Leaving the middle kingdom hanging, at the end of a rope.

And death breeds hate, breeds rage, breeds death.
Endless wars claiming, taking, the lives on bet.
Ever doomed to violence, to fight, and to die.
Swinging swords till end, with howls, they cried.

An ambition, an idea, nobly-hardly worth the cost.
Risking life and limb, blissfull innocence now is lost.
Grief, hate and misery, watered down by salty tears.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go, till the smoke clears.

Eager swords, eager ambitions, eager to kill.
Clouded judgement, clouds of war, clouds that kill.
Hoping against hope, the hopeless and the hopeful.
Leaving the battlefields now, to the dead and the dreadful.

Conquer enemies, crush cities, take the field.
So vast the world, so big a place, so narrow human wit.
Trust in hope, trust a friend, trust in peace, be free.
Trust your sword, trust your wit, but above all, trust in me...

The Hero's Comeback~!

The hero's valor is pure, so bold, so true.
A patch of hope, a ray of light, in a world, askew.
They live through stories, from a memory long gone.
A time of troubles, broken lands, do pray they come.

..3

Cmon!

Are you ready? Ready for their comeback?
Great heroes rising, and now they come back.
Here they come to take the people's lands back.
Side in side, now is the time to fight back.

(Yeah! C'mon)

Everybody now rise, lets stand up.
Fight the power with the bastard's conduct.
Call the spears, now's the biggest showdown.
Game over, no more silly countdown.

Now eye to eye, don't lose your mind.
Sword in hand, it's time to grind.
We fight to live, it's not a crime.
Don't wait to die, now is the time.

Everybody now raise those spears up.
Fight the power with the bastard's conduct.
Tyrants falling, it's the biggest story.
Even in death, can they really just say "im sorry"?

(What now? Sorry? Cmon!)

Rinse and repeat koko~ xD

Xiao Xue Speaks . . .

Note: This is a introductory poem I made for Xiao Xue before Simrtk V5 starts koko~ Xiao Xue is one of my fictional characters, the newest one lo~

And death breeds hate, breeds rage, breeds death.

Endless wars claiming, taking, the lives on bet.
Ever doomed to violence, to fight, and to die.
Swinging swords till end, with howls, they cried.

An ambition, an idea, nobly-hardly worth the cost.
Risking life and limb, blissfull innocence now is lost.
Grief, hate and misery, watered down by salty tears.
Nowhere to run, nowhere to go, till the smoke clears.

Eager swords, eager ambitions, eager to kill.
Clouded judgement, clouds of war, clouds that kill.
Hoping against hope, the hopeless and the hopeful.
Leaving the battlefields, to the dead and the dreadful.

Conquer enemies, crush cities, take the field.
So vast the world, so big a place, so narrow human wit.
Trust in hope, trust a friend, trust in peace, be free.
Trust your sword, trust your wit, but above all, trust in me.
