Shock waves ripped through China
on July 20 1999
Good versus evil
in a whirlwind of vicious crime
Millions of innocent people
faced life and death then
By the jealous head of China
the dictator Jiang Zemin
He ordered all means be used
to eradicate Falun Gong
His intention to eliminate
in three months was strong
More than 26 long years
countless lives destroyed
Now transnational repression
the persecution was deployed
As horrendous as ever
while denying it all
The face of evil
will surely take a fall
The worlds people are awakening
to the truth each day
Falun Gong is good
and is here to stay
As time passes by
days into years
The ancient practice grew
beyond the fears
Despite the persecution
Falun Gong spread worldwide
Through word of mouth
practitioners thrive
Truth, compassion and tolerance
is what the world needs
Falun Gong is the Great Law
that sows universal seeds
As information is sourced, we knowledge add.
Entertainment is accessed by each ipad.
The cost of research is by the net reduced,
whilst addiction to **** is by it induced.
Banking transactions are by it made easy,
so does the convenience of a shopping spree.
We conveniently send mails by speed of light,
and connect to old buddies beyond our sight.
Its flash of lightening promotes the breaking news,
so does its ill wind the fake ones for our views.
It mocks distance with commercial activities,
and lures perverts to their sexual proclivities.
It does our world flatten with mobile services,
its not by distance hindered for con men's vices,
neither will it the distant swindled protect.
It does the deeds of distant bullies perfect.
Transnational love has by it been produced,
when love birds electronically are introduced.
Global link that binds us all like a cobweb;
Old and young alike, each enslaved by the web.
