Poetry by Yuan Changming
I’ll be your mirrorPhotographs by Carly Ries
Chinglish vs Americhina
Under our great gunvernmentWhich now hates z-turning mostOur society is a true socialist democrazyFull of shitizens (and stupigs)
While many a department and its headAre trying to pursue propoorptyAs well as a fine sexretaryMost other chinsumers love to
Demonstrate their amimale In front of circumseersLike those who enjoy living togaytherIn smilence
A Whitewashed Wish
Rather than a popular singerTo win applause and moneyAs his or her song is absorbed by walls And clothes among frenzy audiences
You would be a Munch screamer Standing high on a hill topShouting above the veryTop of your voice
Simply for a tiny echo From the depth of the valley
Tree Scars
With your fingers, handsAnd even arms cut off
You have scars all overYour body, which first
You used to protest against all human pain And injury in deafening silence, then
Your mouths became eyes staring stillAt each evil knife, each inhuman act
Now you are looking forward, and beyondWithout a wink, without a tear drop
