Which way to jump?
Which horse to back?
This game of chance
vision is what we lack.
...
Voices that can never be silenced,
words that can never be erased,
lives that will never be forgotton,
History that will always be saved.
...
He lived and died
in the shackles of the state,
one line that will define
his orchestrated fate.
...
The Arrogant Enemy.
They try to run
they try to hide,
...
The pain in our hearts
is hard to see,
anger rises up
where anger should not be.
...
Over and over they tell me
'You are Chinese
no Dalai Lama
no Tibet
...
A new sense of pride
a new sense of will
We are Tibetans
those that you kill
...
This fickle tune
that plays in our heads
While you smile
for the camera
...
The lofty peaks in
no mans land
harness the elements
without a sound.
...
My pen is empty of ink,
my pencil is empty of lead
my head is empty of thought
life simply hangs by a thread.
...
See through the blind
witness China's real goal
let your heart
find the words,
...
A thousand blind alleys
thru the hills
and the valleys
We stumble
...
Will they dream
of their Amala, their Pala
those they have seen
standing alone.
...
Year Of The Sheep
Which way to jump?
Which horse to back?
This game of chance
vision is what we lack.
This year of sheep
Is it Ram or Ewe?
Is it hope for many
or for just a few.
Time to bend the horns
of power and greed,
Time to sow the 'truth'
for the growing flock
in need.
