Narrow winnowing
Those who say they would
Cast away life of this world
However rare, even torso whole
In order to immortalize their soul
As if they sacrifice so saintly
Actually are too avaricious
Isn’t heaven more precious
Worthier than anything earthly
How many camels try and try
To get there thru a needle eye
Just like millions of gaokao testees
Thronging to pass as prodigies
