China Today and Tomorrow

This Is China



This is China

behind the 'party' lies

with darkest walls

hiding the silent cries.



This is China

behind closed doors

red flags unfurled

to no rule of law.



This is China

behind State control

a reign by fear

without heart or soul.



This is China

behind social injustice

all freedom denied

for prisoners of conscience.



This is China

behind a bitter shame

crimes against humanity

like a savage beast untamed.





One Day China



One day China

one day the world

one day together

every nation, every flag

together unfurled.



One day China

finding freedom

finding voice

one day a people

the right to speech

belief and choice.



One day China

a rule by law

a rule by justice

one day a people

longing for truth

awakening conscience.



One day China

one day the world

one day forever

every nation, every heart

forever unfurled.
