Poem: No Tides Compare

With virtues awry
such ungodly air
where tempests summon
tides of despair

Pervading China’s heart
these darkest hours
of clouded light
denying seed and flower

Brutality unbridled
all terror unleashed
yet, the ‘Party’ near over
bringing end to the beast

Come the dragon’s demise
when the evil is slain
again peace prevails
within the human domain

With virtues restored
finding godly air
where tempests quelled
and no tides compare.
