New Age Chinese
by john tiong chunghoo
------------------------------
New age Chinese, their brain enlivened
By the diversity of the world
Modern scientific wonders, complex
International politics, powerful languages
Cross cultural experiences
Resulting in a multi-faceted mind
Their ancestors never even thought of
A more dynamic mind brought on
By the Chinese diaspora in the East
Resulting in a fusion of knowledge
From the East as well as the West
The fruits of which can be seen
In the tremendous development
In cities like Singapore, Hong Kong,
Taiwan and the rest which witness
The myriad mindboggling adventures of the
New age Chinese, a breed that proves to
Be the saving grace of the most despised
And humiliated race of the last century.
Tiong Chung Hoo
