The Banished Scholar

Clothing: traditional Korean clothing,overcoat with pockets, hat

Objects: pen, book, newspaper

Instruments: mandolin & oboe

History: sings traditional songs of the world Gilgamesh is his story

Animal: Snake

ever present like the wind
sometimes a warm, soothing breeze off the ocean
other times a cold, harsh gale sweeping from the north

banished from the King's court
I flee to the far away island for sanctuary
I am everything you banish to the dark recesses of your soul

highly critical of the authoritarian, political state
a refugee in my own land
listen to the protest songs of the past and the age old teaching
stories

Dance: chimes of freedom
march forward
into battle
killing
death
weeping
fleeing away
stopped by walls
tortured social death
