China Rain

China - One Heart



China, fettered

drenched in tears

one heart tainted and torn.

With a history cold

and conscience sold

decades 'saving face' forlorn.



China, battered

bruised by fear

a soul from truth denied.

With the "Party" over

a people awakening sober

one heart now forever wide!





Rain



Rain to drown the tears

walls to silence the screams

a spectre to poison minds

lies to mask a regime.



Red flags to mark the blood

fear to demand submission

laws to cover the crimes

one "Party" to forge division.



Nights to disguise the darkness

a din too loud to hear

walls to silence the screams

rain to drown the tears.
