AS WINTER FADES

When the blood-red flag

flies no more

and the Party’s lies

come to an end

as winter fades
to the unfolding spring
here the lotus blooms
and many a heart transcends.

Through a history of campaigns
and countless crimes
propaganda and deception
the order of the day
where the coldest snow melts
darkest skies depart
China upon new horizons
awakening as winter fades.
