Hong Kong

I stand before you in honor
Not adornment, but plead
My head held high
I ask for grace
For mercy

The cloudy haze prominent today
Filthy yet beautiful
Settlements on this cliff
Stories, legends, lives
A butterfly dancing away

O! Save the islands
from the mist
For I want to return
One day-
