Turning
into criminals
the right to speak
into dissent
turning tradition
into superstition
and truth to renounce
and repent.
into poison
China's blue skies
into red
turning conscience
into silence
dreams of freedom
into dread.
hearts poisoned to the eye
where China's walls
hide too many a lie.
and the 'party' reigns
where perpetrators abide
and victims without names.
and souls defiled
where crimes unspoken
imprisoned without trial.
any justice curtailed
where blood and tears
leave bitter trails.
and truth repressed
where dialogue failed
and power obsessed.
atrocities abound
where China's walls
silence every sound.
