Poetry by Woeser on Self-Immolation in Tibet
Helplessnes
Woeser
Pick up a book,
Read few lines and put it down.
Outside the window,
Beijing engulfed with twilight weather,
In the mist, can’t see
Those little distant buildings.
In fact, I’m worried of the more distant,
My fearless brethren,
In flames, will they
Be shot with red bullets?
