The news out
of Hong Kong is that democracy protests will not fade away
The quest
for freedom with humanity even in China has great sway
China is
still ruled by the iron hand of the Communist Party in Beijing
A press
there plays only the songs the party wants it to sing.
The People’s
Daily is quick to condemn that the democracy movement in Hong Kong
The democracy quests are not the
forces within that a sense of freedom long
No, this is
the fault of our Congress that they allege is funding NED
The National
Endowment for Democracy a nonprofit helping democracies spread
Humanity’s
desired for freedom does not need external forces to leave its enslaved bed
It comes
from within; obviously the works of Thomas Paine and others they have not read
The leaders
in Beijing may on the surface like Western counterparts appear
But rather
than with ballots and debate they hold on to power with bullets and fear
It takes a
brave group of students to shake the dragon’s tail
And all of
us should pray that they do not fail
Tiananmen
Square is an example of what the leaders will do to keep control
If the
protests increase or spread, without doubt protestors’ heads will roll
No wonder
the leaders wage a constant war to the internet block
Allow the
exchange of ideas and visions of freedoms enjoyed and the leaders power grip will
be unlocked.
