Red Dragon August 24, 2009
Pearl of the Orient
And resident of the East,
Ancient in scope
And a rising beast.
That's China for you,
And she sat you down cold.
The most populous nation
Is becoming so bold.
Xinhua, the ticker tape,
Mao, the enigma,
Subjugating the people,
Cleansing their minds.
Don't speak out too soon,
Or the Red Dragon will burn you.
Better fear the CCP,
Or the feared will know you.
The People's Republic
By oligarchial means.
The peasants in the countryside,
Shanghai by the sea,
And in Beijing, Tianamen Square
Brings tanks to mop
What it don't like.
Human rights is secondary;
Obedience? You don't decide.
The Red Dragon is rising, people,
And don't you even care?
Still grappling with Tibet,
And Richard Gere's still screaming.
The Red Dragon is rising,
And there's no turning back.
Economy's a-boomin',
Getting a bigger piece of the pie.
