Chinese History Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Chinese History

Rating: 4.5


there is a tightness about the Chinese
a jar of wine, sealed and tied with the
help of one billlion hands

there is a tightness about the Chinese
a star twisting and jostling to win
your fancy among one billion

there is a tightness about the Chinese
a surname the weight of one billion tons
each wishes to shoot through the heavens

there is a tightness about the Chinese
five centuries of the rise and fall of civilisations
a dragon all claws, whiskers and fiery eyes
tidying and polishing its billion scales
so that they dazzle with power and excellence

there is a tightnesss about the Chinese
gunpowder all ready to blast through
crackers in a billion hard foldings
