POEMS (The Usefulless Compass)

 The Usefulless Compass

The Wanderer is lost

Walks in the middle of the wilderness

Nothing lives there even a ghost

The Wanderer feels foreignness

The Wanderer tried to take out the compass

Doing as ordinary wanderer mostly did in the past

Open the lid and watch!

This little thing is looking really like a watch

North, South, East, West

Compass can't be used to its best

Wanderer got displeased and slammed it to the ground

Then the Wanderer realizes how it was found

It was given to him by the Wanderer's predecessor

Said it was a hereditary inheritance

Surely the Wanderer didn't yet know the importance

Yet now, even though it has historical value

Yet it has no usage value

The compass has broken not because it has fallen

It's because, from the start, it had no needle and arrow

The Wanderer realizes there aren't any ways to follow

No orientation to aim for

No station to go for
