I Get Hurt So Much I Feel So Pain

TIBET

My country is my heart.
The land is my body.

People came with sharp machines.
Maiming my limbs,
Dismembering my insides.

Without permession,
Without pay. 

My soul is forced out of my body.
My blood turns rancid, poisonous.

They gouge deep wounds over my body.
My tears are as rain.

I want to protect me.
I feel too weak.

I can’t breathe.
I can’t move.

I, so powerless under Chinese violation.
I am in excruciating pain.

Can you hear my cry?

Tibetans Inside Tibet

Tibetans,
Burning, 
The flames everywhere.
One, two, three.......
Already self-immolated,23.
How many sparks will be?
Hundreds or thousands,
Maybe even more....

Gunfire,
Tibetans shot down, 
One after another.
Now
Twelve Tibetans lie down in the blood,
Their bodies wrenched away
Never back.

Caught
To the jail.
An eagle snatching a sparrow.
Never to be seen again 
Or seen crippled
Handicapped, an invalid.

Tibetans
In invisible manacles,
Surrounded by a metre wall.
Even for one step, bound.
Tibetans,
Unseen and unheard by
The world.

The pain
Only Tibetans can feel.
The words 
Only Tibetans can hear.
The blood
Only Tibetans can see.
Because
It happens underground,
Where the world
Does not look.

My Borther and Sister

My brother, sister

Your life is a butter 
lamp,offering.
For our nation and land;
For  the freedom and rights.

The moment, burning,
The sparks
Aroused thousands of Tibetans,
The flames
Ignited people's souls

Until last your breathe,
Hopping,
Your death 
Can change Chinese rule.
Your pain 
Remained the world to help.

You died in fire 
But remain alive in the world .
You were killed by torture 
But died in glory.
