the law is reason free from passion <br /> -Aristotle


They ask me questions


Why do you smell so funny


They don’t seem to understand


Why can’t you just say something


They don’t seem to know


I tug my stained red scarf real close


This is stained by the blood of the chinese soldiers


My teacher told me


If you wear this, you must be brave


My throat closes in


painted faces with golden hair


Blue eyes


Stare at my foreign face so curiously 


Flop


My red stained scarf falls off


Why can’t they understand


My voice can’t speak without an accent


I smell of the streets of my hometown


Please just understand me


Please just care

 


At night my tears would fall


You have the strength of 100 soldiers
