Poem: Sanctuary

With a credence steeped in crime
China languishing along the ‘Party’¹ lines
Where deception reigns and justice is feigned
yet, its control now only a question of time.

The terror and its many talons
a spectre most cruel and ever callous
when the world’s eyes turn to see the lies
truth to find sanctuary above tides of malice.

1. Referring to the Chinese Communist Party.
