one child

compassion will get you there

 

for the first time

loyalty is questioned

like no other place

in history, the ministers

built schools with clay

and straw

now their children

are buried

beneath

as the earth decided

to rock them to sleep

 

their parents weep without mercy

the government let them have

only one child
