A sacred flame burning
finding promise and hope alight
from Mount Olympus
traversing land and shore
until China under a darkest sky
shining horizons forever bright.
With hearts against injustice
freedom and a future for all
voices against the silence
behind China's coldest walls.
Our world now awakening
where courage and conscience born
a torch bearing truth
for millions of lives
a sacred flame prevailing
rising beyond every crime and more.
(A poem inspired by the "Human Rights
Torch Relay" - a global initiative to raise awareness of the ongoing
persecution against Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of
conscience and belief in
China preceding the 2008 Olympic Games).
China, May You Find Light
May you find light
amidst the spectre of darkness
hope despite horizons grey
May you find peace
beyond the 'party's' crimes
truth from such bitter days.
May you find harmony
amidst the tempest
dignity from fear and endless shame
May you find compassion
where a culture of hate presides
light shining above a diminished flame.
