China Goes Olympia
China goes Olympia. In Beijing
young dog-walkers still won't smile
to the visitors while the leashed
canines bark territorially.
Eagles soar over Shanghai's tower.
Fish live dangerously in Wu's rivers.
The southern sea dozes off complacently,
happy to be faraway from the emperor.
Pentagon is on the phone day and night
while APEC sets the field on fire.
Empires fight for the gold chalice
on the battle ground where millions slave.
Brothers and sisters, hold on tight
as China takes you to a wild ride!

thx, y.y.!
always enjoy reading your "instant translation" :)
take care!
中國走向奧林匹亞。北京城裏
溜狗的年輕人還沒有學會
對觀光客微笑,套著鏈的狗
狂吠地方主義
雄鷹衝向上海的高塔。
吳越河流裏的魚兒岌岌可危。
南海得意洋洋地打著盹,
慶幸天高地遠,鞭長莫及
五角大樓電話晝夜徹響
APEC在油井裏縱火燃燒
帝王相候爭奪著金酒杯
戰場上百萬人為奴
兄弟姐妹們,緊緊相連吧
中國在帶你們狂野行進!

再讀,發現剛才太快,沒有很領會!
好詩! a ride of realism
