In Light of Recent Events

With all that has been happening concerning our boys, doubt and confusion have proved breeding grounds for rumor and misinformation. Sensationalist news sites blow minor details out of proportion in hopes of boosting their readership, feeding off the fears of fans.

It is our job as Cassiopeians now to be strong: for six years our boys have dedicated their lives to us, and we have always searched for things to do in return. Gifts, messages of love--these are all nice tokens, but now is when it really matters: now is when we must show our support and love for those who have done so much for us. It is easy to be disheartened but it is important to stay strong.


ONE

I saw a poster on the wall of a bookstore:
“one is not half of two.”
It explained that instead are two halves of one.
Just so, then, aren't five her fifths?
Cassiopeia makes us fractions who were whole
by making the whole not us each but us all

Whoever said one was lonely
didn't know one in all her forms.
For this is not math: this is love.
Math has limits: love has none.
Math treats numbers; it tallies and proves.
Love treats kindly the hearts it rules,
and to love the only number is one:
one person, one couple—one TVXQ!—
and empty therefore are the fractions thereof...
Fourth fifths,
Three fifths,
Two fifths—no:
the fraction can mean nothing without the whole

I saw a translation of an official statement:
“We trust only the words that come from their mouths.”
It was talking about our boys.
"Even if their words aren't true?"
I could imagine all manner of people
writing this contemptuously.

Whoever would think such a thought
does not know the meaning of "true"
True blue, true love, true to the end:
all the loyalty of lovers and friends!
For six years our boys have been true to their fans:
now it's our duty to be true to them.

The responsibility for truth lies with you,
with me,
with all who read these words and feel their weight:
The words from their mouths are, “Always keep the faith!”

Be then no fair-weather friends
who renounce allegiance when conflict pends!
Faithful be who have still faith,
but those will lose heart who let it fade.
So spread not rumors, nor propagate lies,
nor filtered facts that information hide—
for these are where the true untruths dwell:
in the trusting of words trusted mouths did not tell.

TVXQ forever fighting, always keep the faith in five!
