Notes About The Poem

Although you cut.; more grass will grow.'

Shards of China

China's might is people based
Why are they being so abased?
Free expression under a ban
The locked in souls; woman and man
A nations tapestry; world known
Where are its champions?
Has all reason flown?
An unyielding wall came down
Through Dictates based
On un-safe  grounds
The wall is cracking. now stress lines show'
As army's of people aren't allowed to go
To buy a vegetable; or stuff to wear, its so!
Its not a place now; of debate or philosophy'
But of fear, and; oppressive; autocracy.!

Coming to your local theater. Blessings Joe. God hears all. The greatest deception of Satan was giving these fools the impression that he does not exist. Even if martians put us here, it does not change one truth about God and Christ.
