Leonard Fong Roka - Asian Liars

Leonard Fong Roka - Asian Liars

I think br You were human br Down history road. br Once colonised and enslaved. br Subjugated you were… br People of the great Asian land br Who bitterly blooded br For freedom. br br But why? br You had doctrines, so sound br Invented in the snowfields of Siberia; br Befriended one power in the cold war our then bipolar world br Then shut your door kingdom as br “Asia for Asians” and br Fought for freedom? br br Hitherto you fought the imperialist man br Screaming wildly br In Israel, br In Afghanistan, and br In the tangle of Vietnam. br You fought and bled for Asian freedom br You said vividly. br br But why, br Deserting your birth country, br “Asia for Asians” br Like a insane fellow br And risk your life br Floating across the oceans? Why disturb me in my Oceania? br Boat fellow, you br Fear that long sounded br Asian freedom? br Sorry.
