Michael Jordan has retired We have the retirement age Speaking about those things It�s too early for that yet But our life span has surely increased... Company has age-limit system for retirement When we reach retiring age We must look for second life style... I haven�t decided that yet

Though I have a plan As I leave my employment Sure thing it is summer time I want to buy a new moped Honda or Yamaha not Suzuki Might be good if I put on a car navigation device I go up to Tohoku region by bike It need not to busy on the run Just taking much time Dropping at every beautiful sightseeing spot

Up to north area in Japan I had few chances to go such region so far That place has many natural resources So definitely I want to visit there Many beautiful mountains and hot spring Moreover river ,lake, waterfall, and forest Some temple ,shrine and castle in history Travel around these places With easygoing feeling in the mood Taking a few month Stopping at proper hotel or Japanese inn Taking a bath in the hot spring Looking up the star in the night I wish to wash out my heart

I was crawling on my hands and Knees Probably In the back yard Of my house It is a faint memory I have not any conscious mind Just crawling To interesting spot Which is a cage There are some creatures I looked at them through the wire netting Same high level eye to eye Who are You? Suddenly she made an outcry Cock-a-doodle-do! I was surprised by her piercing scream In an instant I cried loudly To my astonishment it was a rooster Looking back to asking for help Someone smiles at me She was knitting on the tatami mat in a house Remember who was my mother This happen begins to take notice So called Start line on my life And then Remind of my mother who was gone Can't let go of my repressed tears

A prophet Nostradamus predicted on 1999 "L'an mil neuf cens nonante neul sept mois, Du ciel viendra un grand Roy d'effrayeur, Resusciter le grand Roy d'Angolmois, Avant apres, Mars regner par bonheur"

This poem is difficult to understand Some scholars say July in 1999 It means this year The end of a century Terror great king Angolmois Come down to the earth from the sky Turn up Armageddon This suggestion is nuclear war World are fallen down At the nadir of the panic stricken Deep impact by huge meteorite This view seems none

Anyway is it happen? July in this year If so it happened ,then we are last. Some groups are going to make a shelter Against Angolmois Can we say hello in 2000 year Not any troubles Can we see 21 century?

Nostradamus (1503-66) Astrologer and prophet in France Is he a megalomaniac person? Now we stand on Here just in 1999 Time passing through Whether you like it or not Outcome will be clear

Some believers say You wish to live out of your life From Armageddon That way is only You must get in our religious group Our god only saves our life If so, you can survive from Angolmois

Anyhow dinosaur died out Since then, continued on another life Mankind is not owner in the world We are new comer in this earth God is unnecessary for human to be here

I have interested in His poem on 1999 The end of the world Armageddon Hit or not!
