(Remembering Li Wangyang, a labour activist.)
He is gone.
His manner of death
does not add up.
Who in this nation
owns the time?
Who has the final say?
Not the people. Not him –
Blinded and half deafened.
He must also be 'made dead'.
He's been turned into a symbol
for democratic fighting.
Even the blind can see, deaf hear.
He hanged himself.
The official would have us believe
he tied his bed sheet into a noose
and improvised his death.
Whose time is up next?
Another who is not afraid?
