The Great Wall Poem by john tiong chunghoo

The Great Wall



the builders
at the apex
of their monument
of sufferings

two thousand years
away from us

now quiet as the breeze
that carresses a calm

nonchalant birds cruise
and lifts themselves
above us all excited to
see who could climb
to the top

some two thousand steps
from the start of the wall
at Badaling

and there have our
pictures taken
to be hung in
home sweet home
two thousand miles away
