Great Firewall Burning

Chinese Government: Statu quo;
Involved in repression,
Of freedom's thought;
Through distorted court, they ply their trade.
As they invade, mind, body and soul;
Scared to lose control,
A few ruling the whole.
Shackle that brain they do exclaim!
Ball and chain clinking,
Great firewall burning!
It's freedom they’re earning.
Standing up against the STATE of things,
These are intelligent human beings.
A few can't control the many;
Brave warrior souls with pen in hand,
Their writings are never bland,
So keep on writing to free your land.
Freedom fighting is always right.
Please keep this in sight;
Bringing light to your country's plight.

The more they stifle thought the worse the rebellion will be. Nice statement piece, I second and third your words, they do think for themselves, and their rulers should be very afraid of radical thinking ;)

As they invade: mind, body and soul
Scared to lose control
A few ruling the whole.

This scenario has gone on for so long and now, finally, one by one dictatorships are beginning to fall. We saw it in Egypt, we see the (soon to be sucessful) attempts in Libya and there are so many countries to follow.

Thanks for this and for the reminder...Good strong poetry

what a statement - it rings loud and clear

Freedom so desired - so hard to obtain
