Unreformed Tom Sharp

Thorns grow over the tomb; you’d need an axe to cut them down. The duke is like those thorns; everyone knows this. He knows he’s a bad man, but no one does anything about it. I sing to call for his removal, and he’s not smart enough to mind.

墓门 诗经

墓门有棘，斧以斯之。 夫也不良，国人知之。 知而不已，谁昔然矣。 墓门有梅，有鴞萃止。 夫也不良，歌以讯之。 讯予不顾，颠倒思予。
