A second poetry sample:

Those People

by Theurang

Mountains hollowed out, rivers befouled

And wildlife wiped out.


Those people burrow our land


With their fangs and claws.

 

Pastures denuded, forests demolished


Boundaries of fields and pens dissolved and


Converted into extensive spaces of foreign, unhealthy trees.

Those guests have now settled, unapologetically.

 

Rangelands divided, fenced with iron enclosures


Livestock disturbed, and its population dwindling.


With fierce expressions, they march away slabs of our gold ores


And with unblushing smiles, they reward us with a few sacks of flour.

Those people really know how to ingratiate themselves.

 

Law. Policy. Harmony.


Those people have chains, locks

And awfully tight snares. 

--This poem was written by Tashi Rabten under his pen name of Theurang. It appeared in May 2016 and circulated on WeChat in Tibet. Source of English translation: High Peaks, Pure Earth

SONG
