Poem
Chairman Xi Jinping you seek a new geo-strategical order Sick of the blame game burden and fake foreign news Like viruses internet hacking sanctions and accusations Spew a fault line of tsunamis and earth shattering quakes Pacific surfers’ paradise and floods of Confucian proportions ‘The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbour’ Unless you are ignorant of razor sharp obvious double edged swords Dragons assert to be peaceful creatures or aggressive tormenters Paradigms shift under the influence of stark power and retaliation Who threw the first stone anyway and was it a gem or merely a pebble We all bleed the same red blood when we sigh our ultimate breath Rise to challenge before everything goes up into terminal smoke ‘Before you embark on a journey of revenge dig two graves’ Its the year of the Zodiac Rat that symbolizes current affairs Inquisitive shrewd and resourceful and of dualistic acclaim Yin and Yang cosmic energy and universal chaos contained In one symbol of unity and the harmony of opposite claims A fortune cookie of crossed chopsticks wishbones and ashes ‘We should feel sorrow but not sink under its oppression’ Manifestos ideologies belligerent strides’ clashing culture Where right turns wrong opposition becomes commitment An eye for a blind eye slap on the cheek a take on the chin As the red sun sets over the Blue Chinese Sea it remains to Be seen whether defense or aggression descends into void ‘Our greatest glory is not in ever falling but in rising every time’ Maybe Humpty Dumpty needs a stepladder next time around Chairmen Xi are you the rampart or full of nuclear con-fusion Please stand up to my challenge and listen to my riddle and verse 11th May 2020 The lines in quotation are words attributed to Confucius
