I Am a Little Bird

[mahuairong]

I am a little bird
with explosions my egg cracked
scattered away with feather unfledged
from the blast of my Middle Eastern nest.

With my family I migrate eastward.
At the Pacific I stop to have a rest.
on this rare patch of peaceful land
I want to build my permanent nest.

I repose on the top of the electric pole.
feed beside the urban sprawl road.
What I am most afraid of is bush
where the capital terrorist may hide.

Last evening I listen to the speaker.
Bush was to come for the Olympics.
on hearing his state of wonderful weather.
Did we have a sleepless night?

Radiant with happiness and satisfaction
He talked of respecting the Chinese people.
Innocent, energetic, manly and ferocious
All the adjectives for the male he deserved.

He is certain to be the greatest president.
For he launches the American dreams
across the boundary, beyond the stars,
and directly or round about to the distant future.

But I dislike you bush.
The terrorist-attack-causing bush
Even though
the Chinese seat you on an honored seat.

You, father and son, smash the Arab World.
Renew the concept of supremacy and hegemony.
How you embezzle the name of the people
as tyrants normally do the world over?

The Olympics is a game worldwide.
To which China has contributed a lot.
The most secured piece of land for the globe
With whom somebody attempts to make trouble.

A game is after all a game.
There is no need for making a fuss.
For it has not much to do
With the bottle and bowl of ordinary Chinese.

By the way, Mr. Bush
In eastern globe there is a sage
Who can tell you the fortune
By reading the features of your face.

Influenced by his discovery
I hate both baboon and monkey.
If I were to be a volunteer passenger,
You must be the last to get the invitation card.

On the Pacific
sprawling roads
Last evening I listened to...
On hearing his state (or statement?)...
the bottle and bowl of ordinary Chinese?

The latter part of the poem is a bit too direct and obvious for my taste.
