Hong Kong, the Paradise

Did you know that in this enclave?
one out of five lives in stark poverty.
This place has the highest property
Prices in the wold.
The owner of such a flat has to
Subdivide the flat until it becomes
Tiny boxes to be able to pay rent.
Those who started this mayhem
Possibly get help from outside
Sources who know there is no win
Except for embarrassing China.
Demonstration without a clear goal
Is futile, the students are taken
For a ride and their democrat
Credentials a historical footnote.
