Imperious China's Gifts

A great nation truly distinguished by great gifts 

heaped upon the world by Imperial China whose 

philosophic understanding of humanity and the 

courageous act of living were matched by the 

production of its sublime artistic talents leaving 

priceless calligraphic, exquisite porcelain, matchless

architecture and representational art as an aesthetic

testament to human achievement supported by its 

recognition of a system of bureaucratic meritocracy.

Gone, long gone that era, in its place an imperious 

China its goal to set its mark of ownership of world 

resources and in return gifting the globe with labour 

courtesy its immense population-skilled production 

urged on by the Chinese Communist Party jealous of 

its reputation as a viper is of its territory incorporating

into its reserves Tibet and East Turkestan the better 

to enslave its unwilling human elements while genetic 

riches of the region produce the fine minds of scholars

scientists, writers and surgeons. All called upon by 

their benevolent tyrant to serve their country at home 

or abroad sharing secret intelligence to sharpen the 

sword of offence. Gifts of the modern era generous in 

chemical opioids and pathogenic viruses to bring 

the world to its virtual knees while the keepers of 

that ancient civilization's assignation with destiny 

with the blank vision of statuary, revel in spite.
