A True Story

I once bought some black pens that would not write,
I thought, "Maybe that's why they were so cheap."
Then I was given a new bag to keep,
It fell apart without even a fight.

My friend bought new shoes that were a nice sight,
But their side stitching did not run so deep,
And rain water into her socks did seep.
All "Made in China," I thought in hindsight.

When a nation does not value virtue.
People's hearts quickly grow deformed and gray
What they produce quickly withers away,
As their tiniest parts turn a rotten hue.

Though China has made great things over time,
Now the CCP only commits crime.
