Never had tasted
any soda pop,
until this grand...

You're facing a gun complete with barrels
And of all things with firm holder quarrels!
Chairman Mao would have laughed at you
And kept repeating "No... No it's not true!"
I guess, definitely, in their Chinese,

One paid no attention, One always looked over the shoulder
One an elaborate...

 What thoughts have I, 
 in mind against its grain;
 aware, but in shallowness dressed,
 humanity’s drain, drowns my spirit’s health;
 beside myself, of doubt filled dreams,
 my cries, my fears, my failures...
