You Can Only Die Once

To commemorate Qu Yuan 
The poet and politician
The Chinese has the Dumpling Festival
And the Dragon Boat Festival
In olden days a revolution is rare
And now it is difficult to commence
one too
Wars kill millions
And we only die once
Life is precious and invaluable 
And people wouldn't change
Because you die
It takes centuries to change 
The characters of people
A stiff moral revolution indeed
Hopeless 
Whenever confronting with 
Man's greed and yearn for power
