Anger of the Poor

 Anger of the Poor

Anger to cut a man into ten children

Anger to make the children fall as a hundred flowers

Anger to turn the flowers a thousand swords

It is the anger of the poor.

Before two volcanoes

It makes an earthquake stand,

The anger to turn a hundred stomachs a wing

The anger to combine a thousand wings into a drop,

The anger to display a song,

It is the anger of the poor.

It makes a song stand,

Before the hats of two policemen
