My breathing slows
my mind is stilled
my spirit rises
Falun Gong
The evening weeps
in empathy
an evil steals
echoes of souls
As One we join
our sanctity
in supplication
to Divine
As more among us
simply vanish
Disappeared
without a trace
Falun Gong is a meditative practice drawing on the ancient, complementary practices of Buddhism and Qi Gong.
Beginning on 20 July 1999, the People's Republic of China began a program to eradicate Falun Gong and those practicing it, using primarily the methods of defamation, kidnapping, imprisonment, internment, torture and ****** to achieve their objective. Literally millions of people have been targeted.
This poem, which I wrote on 6/7 August 2014, was my response to learning of the ongoing murders of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners.
