67. Poem

Adieu capital

Adieu 

 

It's been long I'm here

Now to a new state

I'm certainly going

This won't be

a permanent shifting 

Adieu capital

Will be the wording 

 

Adieu capital

My childhood keeping 

I'm now on a move

I'm certainly going

To a new capital

In a new state

Of a new country

 

Adieu capital

Adieu

The people

It's time for farewell

So I may fare well

In a new dwell

 

Adieu land and ocean

Carrying a part of you

In my heart

The smell of soil

And rainy bath

 

Adieu air and moon

Adieu all

On a final call

Fixing new place

New people

New belongings

 

Adieu is the word

Adieu!!!
