China, What the Hell
First there was Tiananmen Square,
where tanks flattened people who dared
stand up for their natural rights
against the Socialistic blight.
And then you hit the Falun Gong,
proclaimed that there beliefs were wrong,
force seems your favorite way to quell,
so we say China, what the hell?
Then you go and truly disturb,
harvest organs from prisoners,
there’s evil and there’s Satanic,
how can you do something this sick?
And let’s not leave out the Uighurs,
butchered, locked up, and left with scars,
must everything you do be fell?
Seriously, China, what the hell?
And how can anyone forget
the evil you did to Tibet?
And genocides of Mao Zedong,
killer of sixty million,
you put the butcher on money,
worst killer in all history,
as if he’s cast some vile spell,
honestly China, what the hell?
Now we’re all facing a virus,
because you chose to lie to us,
we could’ve brought it to it’s knees,
if folks had known of it early,
but evidence you tried to hide,
whistleblowers vanished and died,
until cases began to swell,
now it’s out China, what the hell?!
Who stacks animals up in crates,
so they can piss and defecate
on each other in open stalls,
don’t you know food safety at all?
Your wet markets all started this,
a giant, breeding petri dish,
even fools know that won’t end well,
please tell us China, what the hell?
This isn’t even the first time,
SARS, and MERS, and the flu of swine,
a pattern that keeps repeating,
with no solutions, just ranting,
claiming the U.S. is to blame?
Pin it on our soldiers, that’s insane.
Anything to keep it off yourself,
it's disgraceful China, what the hell?
It’s your fault for this dark hour,
and yet you use it to gain power…
I understand Hong Kong’s despair,
and the people stuck living there,
ruled by a cruel, tyrannical state,
an edifice of death and hate,
I hope this ends up as your death knell,
all you ChiComs can go to hell.
