”Veteran Chinese activist Zhu Yufu has been jailed for seven years after being accused of “subversion of state power” by writing a poem. This is his poem.
IT’S TIME By Zhu Yufu, translated by A. E. Clark and reprinted with permission It’s time, people of China! It’s time. The Square belongs to everyone. With your own two feet It’s time to head to the Square and make your choice. It’s time, people of China! It’s time. A song belongs to everyone. From your own throat It’s time to voice the song in your heart. It’s time, people of China! It’s time. China belongs to everyone. Of your own will It’s time to choose what China shall be.”
