RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CHINA
Tik Tok
He’s got something up his sleeve
An instrument of Chinese power
Tik Tok wins a late reprieve
Must be the Chinese hour
They’re collecting information
On every teenaged girl and boy
All to serve a sovereign nation
Though we may think it’s just a toy
The Russians have their ways
The Chinese have their own
We have seen the way it plays
The kids are dancing to their tone
We will see how this plays out
When the next election comes around
Will the Chinese gain new clout?
Will it shake our shaky ground?
Xi Jinping is not our friend
He will undo us if he can
On his motives we can depend
It is the long-term Chinese plan
