The Chosen People Poem by john tiong chunghoo
The Chosen People
where i live
race issue is
bantered about
like a pop song
it is their eyes
in their acts
even more clear
when situation warrants
it in words
they sound
like two sharpened
swords clinking
in a duel
the sound is
so ominuous
one is left with
sleepless nights
most nights
half a soul
to live with
where i live
the race issue is
all about the chosen people
and the 'messiah'
the chosen ones
reserve the rights to land
the 'messiah' with all his sacrifices
can be led to the cross
when situation warrants it
