Humbled? Humiliated? Its transparent malice
no longer couched in diplomacy but in threats
and reactions punishing to its opponents in awe
of the power and strength of a country whose
population is manifold times greater than their own
whose immense military, technologically bristling
in support of a ruling ideology whose collective
thirst for greater hegemonic width and breadth in
its avuncular excursion into penurious far off
nations circling the world, investing, lending out
treasury, building infrastructure in creation of its
present-day Silk Road, binding the naive with the
strictures of indebtedness it ranks triumphant lashing
with brittle maledictions those opponents who see
beyond the icily rictus smile to the pirating of
contested territory, the grim rejoinders and
intimidation to silence critics. Psychopathic
in its devotion to self, oblivious to the litter
of moral corpses left in its wake, China rules!
