Bánh Trôi
Thân em thời trắng phận em tròn,
Bảy nổi ba chìm mấy nước non.
Rắn nát mặc dầu tay kẻ nặn,
Nhưng em vẫn giữ tấm lòng son.
Bánh Trôi (Floating Cake)
My body is white; my fate, softly rounded,
rising and sinking like mountains in streams.
Whatever way hands may shape me,
at center my heart is red and true.

餅㵢（一種越南甜點，形似湯圓）
我身潔白而圓潤，
七沉三浮歷山川。
柔軟堅實任人捏，
我心依舊赤誠存。

"The flames of ignorance burn without pain."
- The Book of Origin (Stargate SG-1)
Words for our time, indeed.
Voltaire had some bangers:
“It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.”
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
“Prejudices are what fools use for reason.”

Every time I hear the tangerine dictator speak I’m reminded of what grandma always said: ‘The empty can makes the most noise’.
It didn’t really make sense to me until Trump ran for office in 2015.
Oh no, not again.
