I've Moved to Hong Kong

~I've moved to Hong Kong, where many brave souls dwell.
A million Davids slinging stones of democracy and peace.
At the empty-headed ogre who will forever loathe the free. 
And let loose his hell hounds to go for the throat of liberty.

~I've moved to Hong Kong where many brave souls dwell.
Where angels bloody the noses of ogres and those hounds of hell.
I'm too old and have not the heart to join their noble fight.
But I lock my spirit tight to theirs along the skirmish line.
I've moved to Hong Kong in the dreamlands of my mind.
