the next revolution

Now, Carrie Lam implies she's just the glove
concealing Moscow's fist that moves her mouth.
Authority's imposed by those above,

while on the street, the markets have gone South.
In '97, Hong Kong money fled

to Canada, where passports could be bought
by those who were unwilling to go Red,
regardless what Mao's Little Red Book taught.
The Communists now look to Chairman Xi
who long ago discarded Marx' books.
As long a some enjoy prosperity

mainlanders like the State to stay unshook.
The hopes that Tiananmen Square's legions heard

won't be forgotten, 'though they get deferred.
