Emigration
He stole her from verdant leavesGlazed with rain, ripe fruit in the gardenHe tore her from antiseptic paradiseWhere a servant completed daily choresFrom a land piled high, epicurean delightsFrom the East and WestMen who pushed carts on the streetsRoasting chestnuts in giant woksWo shi hua ren, yong yuan shi hua renWo shi hua renHe lured her from what is thicker than waterFrom hot sunny days and a wizened motherHe pulled her from cacophonySeven siblings and nephews without countFrom an uneducated but streetwise bargain hunterWho threw sense to the wind when her offspring were involvedTwice succumbing to fraud involving thousands of dollarsRansom for sons never lostWo shi hua ren, yong yuan shi hua renWo shi hua ren
