Tennis with Jai Liu

Flying foxes hang replete from the tall trees
dripping in the morning sun. They have sucked
the flesh of mamey sapote, rambutan and mangosteens.
Their dog-like pelts are copper pendants
that seep a dawn drenched dew onto our heads.
The summit of Penang Hill is reserved for the rich
who live above the heat and hustle.
Cool nights favor a fragrant adulatory.
Jia Liu has an 'Uncle' that is not related to her.
When he is away she takes me to the villa
as a tennis partner, and sometimes lover.
After the game we stroll under the bat dribble.
“It’s good for your hair,” she says laughing,
running ahead. I call after her:
“Where do they go in the heat of the day?”
“To the fruit markets in George Town,
“they hang from the rafters.”
Last night I was with her again - a dream.
We were drinking amrita of guava,
our lips smeared with a sweet red thirst.

that felt no shame.

Jia Liu has an Uncle
that is not related to her.
When he is away
she takes me as a tennis partner,
and sometimes lover.
Her uncle owns
the villa.

After the game
we stroll under the large bats.
“It’s good for your hair,” she says laughing,
running ahead.
I call
“Where do they go in the heat of the day?”
“To the fruit markets in George Town,
“they hang from the rafters.”

Last night I was with her again.

Premium Member China Spies and Lies

China Spies and Lies

Concentration camps in the north
disappearing book sellers in the south
Chinese spies hunt one and all
Army of thieves , worldwide

Zhao Ziyang, where is he?
erased from Chinese history
where is the brave young man
who battled one thousand tanks?

Xu Jiatun, where is he?
erased from Chinese history
truth has no play in China today
only death and propaganda reign

Xi Jinping, crimes against humanity
Lu Shaye, propogandist to the core
Leaders of a revolution long dead
corruption their cause, their only rules

Coal plants and cigarettes
Keep your silences
even you may lose your breath
This is China, spies and lies

Richard Chiassaro

Richard is a wheelchair sprinter,
Also a middle distance competitor,
Who sometimes races along side,
David Weir, so he’s had it hard.

He was born on the 11th November,
In the disco year of 1981, England,
With spina bifida, and trains strong,
At the Harlow Athletic Club busy.

At the BT Paralympic World Cup,
In London in 2012 he won the gold,
And then that same year, Emirates,
Sharjah in the Persian Gulf, T54

Richard, at the close International
Open Athletics Meeting, a bronze.
He’s No. 1 in the UK in his class,
In the 100m, and also in the 200m.

In Grossetto in Italy, in year 2016,
Which held the IPC Europeans,
He collected 3 silvers and 1 gold,
In the 100, 400, 800m, and 200m.

But sadly at Rio he did miss out,
On a medal position, came forth,
When he won a time of 47.17 secs,
Because of wheelchair problems.

He only came short by 0.10 secs,
Came behind China’s Yan Liu,
Tunisia’s Yassine Gharbi quick,
And Holland’s Kenny Weeghel.

He made up much, lots of ground,
On the final bend, he pushed hard,
To finish with his head held high,
And absolutely nothing to regret.

The Oracle

Date: Thu, Oct 22 2015 at 10:02 PM

I'm fighting these "Demons"
They want my soul for a "Reason"
Cause of "Jesus"
The God in me "Breathing"
Cause I came out the Same "Portal"
Of "Satan"
Into a "Metaphorical" 
"Incarnation"
So now it's "Mortal" Kombat "Annihilation"
I'm Liu Kang in this "Matrix"
Facing these "Agents"
Zion has "Awakened"
To the forces that's "Preying"
Since my Soul for the "Taking"
I'm the "Oracle" with the "Information"
Giving it amongst the "Forces"
An it's "Importance"
But you'll be "Unfortunate" to "Take" It
I'm "Fortunate" and the "Fortune" of "Embracing" It
It's my "Ordinance" and "Coordinance"
To "Display" It
So my "Coursal" is "Elevating"
My "Illumination" 
Using my "Wisdom"
In this "Prison"
An "Make" It
Through the "Mazes"
I'm the Mazerunner with shoes "Flaming"
An "Soars" "Aching"
But my "Core" "Anxious"
From the "Flames" Blazing 
I use the "Orbs" to "Roar" with "Determination"

Premium Member Peace Flies

While buzzing one day around Beijing
my two faceted eyes saw something,
a man named Liu Xiabo
thrown in jail like cargo
Nobel Peace prize of no, he was hamstringed.

Fast flew I, to his fine mistresses house
and found the commies had lured his wife out
the press to waylay
on his special day
all the leadership could do was grouse!

Finding my way to Liu Xiabo’s cell,
it seems all free men here, live in hell.
He smiled with kind eyes
said “Ah, life’s the prize!
perhaps, I will arise, who can tell?"

*2010 Nobel Peace Prize Winner for his efforts
in obtaining human rights in China was jailed
by his government.

The Littlest Girl

Maria Liu
Rain,The Story

With the key still in her hand,
She walked through the door.
Wondering,
If she could take much more.
She sat on the couch,
Trying to put every piece in place.
But they all felt so delicate,
As if they were made of lace.
After trying so hard,it was pointless,
Like climbing a high fence.
No matter how much she thought,
I wouldn't make any sense.
Why was it her?
Why did she have to fight them all?
What if she lost?
What would it be like to fall?
But then something clicked,
After all the time spent.
The message to her brain,
Was finally sent.
It wouldn't matter if she fell,
She would do her best.
And maybe one day,
Somebody would finish off the rest.
