My Love

By Mr YANG (杨天水), translated by Yiyan Han (c)

My Love

This is a preface for the selected poems by the late Chinese dissident Mr YANG Tianshui (楊天水), 1961.04.12 – 2017.11.05, and he composed them while being in prison. We should always remember those brave hearts who sacrificed their own lives for the freedom of mankind. Yiyan Han (c) 2017-11-15 (minor modification on 2021-01-05)

Preface

The high wall, unconcerned and senseless
and that electric wire, night and day, across the sky
cut off the spring fields from willows, rivers and green grass
and prohibit the swan of freedom from soaring high
Yet the bright moon, refusing being controlled and dominated
shines the same light of compassion on the whole world
O, it's her tender and merciful face of caring
that seduces the endless of dreams and longing

Great!

Not sure if you know this - The Chinese communists praised the greatness of US freedom before they got power, and have always attacked US from Korean and Vietnam wars to today for over 70 years! How could so many Washington rotten politicians are so blindly rotten?!

Never give up, and do whatever necessary not to let the deep state to steal power - or the whole world will go back to the dark age as a result of the communism dominance.

Fast and quick, yet still got that tender touch. Awesome blend here. Sorry I haven't been commenting much lately... feel like our timezones are a little different. Timetables for poetry at least ;). Kind regards and peace. Your friend Fish

Thanks. Mr Yang expressed his great love to the world while he was in prison - What a contrast to all those rotten rogues in the world.
