Democracy Wall was an illusion, given to the Chinese People by the Party. It was a gift that could be cherished, but never used. It's been replaced by the Great Firewall, the second Great Leap Forward, sort of. This haiku is dedicated to the artist(s) who made the Chinese Statue of Liberty in Tiananmen Square.
An Elegy for Democracy Wall
From Tiananmen Square,
We erased the freedom of
Democracy Wall
