China, China, China
Do not rub your eyes
For a fraction of a second
To sustain catapulting
To the pinnacle of miraculous breakthrough.
Whoever bends over backwards
At all hours of the day and night
To drag you back
From the miraculous incredible leap
Let them know that
That’s the way how the ball bounces
Handing over handkerchiefs
To dry their crocodile tears.
I tell you truly,
Let them know that
No earthly power can stop you
From your incredible strides.
By any means whatsoever,
Move no heaven and earth
To lullaby them
Even a wee-drop
As it doesn’t help bear fruits
Except adding insult to injury
Making matter worse.
By hook or crook,
Do not shower them with pieces of advice,
To refrain from their evil deeds,
As their unusual behavior,
is a sign of giving up hope.
Though your adversaries
Sustained mystifying every man jack,
With layers of conspiracies
Going behind closed curtains
Let them cry their eyes out
Burning with remorse.
Let all their evil deeds backfire
And continue paying back
In their own coin.
