Shorn of Reason

Hong Kongs
Big pong
Five are tried 
heads hooded
Hands tied

Wolf like packs
Claim a moral low
Truth can't bestow
The depth of facts
Now for all to know

Morals now obscene 
As today is seen,
Humanity traded
Weave of life torn
Insanity in-braided

A very aged norm.'

Right-on with your observations. There is more power in prayer than mankind realizes -- let us pray together for sanity and peace. Prayer creates miracles. Thank you, Joe.

Good contribution - but o ly for those who think & do poetry : China was better left as "sicialistvfaikyre" fir the now one-party orientalism despotism calked communism with controlled capitalism. Western business sees millions of consumers & have only one solution. That, to make everyone economic assets by devolving to conspicuous consumption. Rich despots are not friends of democracy.
