Nanking... Nanking... Poem by Bike Wang

Nanking… Nanking…
You were once shining;
you were once standing.
your people were once feasting;
your people were once laughing.

Nanking… Nanking…
You were once flawless;
You were once scarless.
You were once known of the capital.
But now… the Rape of Nanking.

Nanking… Nanking…
a maple dying;
the leaves loosening;
Colors changing;
And then… comes the bloody falling.

Playing; gaming;
Competing; scoring;
Robbing; Raping; Murdering;
Capturing; humiliating; shooting
Experimenting; reporting; executing;
You are now… emptying.

You did nothing;
You can do nothing.
Your people retreating;
Left you with the enemy.
What did the foreigners do?
They did more than watching;
While we are running.

Nanking… Nanking…
We are winning;
Your people returning;
An End to the suffering.

Time passing;
Truth burying;
Foreigners disbelieving;
Enemy denying;
Without apologizing;
Souls still flowing;
Still remaining;
Still not resting.
They are still waiting;
Since the beginning;
…of everything.
