RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Sedition in Hong Kong
Sedition in Hong Kong
Is daring to act like a journalist
Sedition in Hong Kong
Is daring to criticize Beijing
Once there was hope of freedom
Freedom of speech
Freedom of assembly
Freedom to march the streets in protest
Freedom to publish your views
That hope was brutally attacked
By the officers of oppression
Now they jail journalists
Now they serve warning to all
Who would ever dare oppose them
They don’t know the history of resistance
They don’t know the power of the people
It may take a decade of resistance
It may take a century of defiance
But the people will not forget
The people will not give in
They will find a way forward
They will find the path to freedom
They will march toward democracy
Step by step, year after year
Decade after decade
Until at last they prevail
(Stand News editors Chung Pui-kuen
and Patrick Lam sentence to prison.)
