The Weary Traveler

Thousands of miles, dozens of shoes A weary traveler spreading the news A walk to Beijing, an old man appealed For belief in Falun Gong, his heart was real “Falun Gong is Good” the old man said As he opened his back-pack that held shoes of bare-thread But he was arrested as he spoke Sacrificing his freedom for truth and hope He continued to say,”The government is wrong” As he was dragged away, appealing for Falun Gong July 20th 1999, marked this historic day Of horrific persecution that left China in dismay Hundreds of thousands were tortured and killed Practitioners appealed for justice to be fulfilled 2006 Kilgour and Matas revealed A new form of evil throughout China was sealed Organ harvesting live Falun Gong practitioners was true The world’s people were stunned at the news Murder for profit, was the CCP’s aim Genocide of Falun Gong before the 2008 Olympic games
