Falun Gong

In poignant verse
 I seek to disperse 
 to the Universe
 Without profanity
 An egregious crime
 against humanity

A glorious ancient practice
of calming body and mind
consummated by truth, patience
Infused by being kind
A current victim so courageous
enduring a crime that is outrageous

To yearning hearts 
what could be finer
than this ancient practice 
of the people of China
Falun Gong :
a mediation so
trans formative 
It exponentially elevates
The healthy years you live

Their living in a time 
of excruciating crime
where a basic human right
Demands a constant
vigilant fight

In exchange 
for the peace that they engaged
Somehow their government
became enraged
Falun Gong, if you follow
carries a sentence quite hollow

Their Governments Reward ?
Is a far cry from
harmonious applaud

The vision your mind
conceives as the absolute  farthest 
Is indeed a  Forced
Organ Donor Harvest

Perpetrated by the
Chinese Communist Party
Because these practitioners
body's are Very Very Hearty

If my verse did edify
And your heart thirsts to assist
Please don't offer an alibi
    or be a cohort 
Support, Support, Support

Thank you John, I only recently became aware of it myself. Glad I could offer a little knowledge! 5 exercises and spiritual meditations.
