Gintagna kg Gamhanan

1863 – ginbata ang isa ka duke nga gamhanan
Si Franz Ferdinand sg Austria nga kapungsuran
Nga ang kamatayon kabangdanan sg World War 1…
1271 – gintagna nga itukod ni Kublai Khan
Ang isa ka dalagko nga imperyo sa kasaysayan
Kombinasyon sg Tsina kg Mongolia – ang Yuan…
Tani ikaw man, Juan, gintagna mangin gamhanan!

Premium Member 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


Premium Member Dr Seuss and the Little Yellow Stars

Xi released a mad bug from his red cave
and fated millions to premature graves
while we burned DR, Seuss books
Fauci and Xi wiggled off the hook
Joe and Hunter have yuan in their banks.
 



Yuan is the currency of communist China

City of God Or Cities of Man

B Before the Virus may be a reckoning among calendars
A As we deal with one bigger than Depression, topsy-turvy times -
B Before Virus (BV) I loved the World Markets, welcomed China
Y Yuan, Yen, Dollar, Pound ... though some weakened ours, the Rand
L Losing confidence, or hubris now, what do we do as we reduce travel?
O Oh, of course there is the internet. Only our City wants people. Lots!
N Now, AV (After Virus) we water veggie patches, returning to village lives

I In fear of another pandemic, or Great Depression. Trump lost a trump card
S Someone forget to tell us, "CITIES" are a bad way to grow nations

F Filth and gain, creativity and perfidy, grow with shamelessness in a city
A And not to mention the waste produced, entitlement, so much polluted
L Leaving to hinterland to offer landfills - plus the enormity of sewage!
L Leave the city, the City of the World, for you do access another
I In the Last Days, the City of Man will not stand, not even feed itself
N Now is the time - whether you pray or not - to go back to DESIGN
G God for me, or Eternity With Name, gave Ezekiel a blueprint for The City

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

Yuan Oranaga-Taunga Was Here

Don Johnson Yuan-orang

We was in Coles a shopping center,
The wild man from Borneo appeared,
He reared up an started spraying 
Yuan Oranaga-Taunga was here

Followers in their blue-gum robes,
With bark a prickling round their ears,
With dollar coins attached to ear lobes,
Dodged and sidestepped as they savoured
Uric acid and sweet urea,

Holy-man was gesticulating,
Gonads flashing so sincere,
Red hairy waistcoat ever stating,
Yuan a Tanga was the seer,

Deported then he was so,
Dropped by parachute we hear,
Back to the wilds of Borneo,
Thought blinking Wombats bloody *****…

Don
