A Chinese Slave
October 18, 2013
When they built the Wall of China
To keep the Mongols out
A slave died.
No one cared.
He was put in the ground
And the Wall built on top.
And now, on a dark night
When the stars in the Chinese sky
Are blotted out by clouds
His spirit surveys the fruit of his toils,
From a faraway place.
