politics – Portrait of Em.

tears-and-tear-gas

Tears from the sky
Tears of the spies
Tears of the poisonous gas come amid the crowd of pride

Who can differentiate white from black and
Tell of what is right from wrong and
what is Correct and what is not

Be drunk
Be drunk with tears
Be drunk with anger
Be drunk with fear and terror and the shallow warrior

So now the game is over
Turn your back to the withered clover.

Inspirations from the Umbrella Revolution in Hong Kong: What is democracy?

To be or not to be
That is the question
All that we yell or request or want
Is but the dream to be free

Some are far too childish
And some are bit too coward
But we are not rubbish
For you to bully and push us forward

Our city is dead
And the news is to be spread
Democracy is dead
And the news is left unread

Save us
Save our city
Save our democracy
Save our Hong Kong

Which is killed and buried and sad

When history repeats itself
When Tiananmen massacre re-happens
