China by
Harold Jokela
People's RepublicLife is three rice bowls,
A mahjong table, one child,
And two bicycles.
LeadershipState enterprises build
Unsinkable ship of state
On ocean bottom.
Love BoatRomance in China
Is watching the Titanic
Movie together.
PlasticityRectitude becomes
Pretentiousness in China.
Corruption appears.
Culture BoundNow they bind the minds
With fear and propaganda.
Feet are left to grow.
