Enemies of Compassion

"The Snow Lion is a mythic beast of Tibetan legends. As a protector of the Nation, the Snow Lion is emblazoned on the Tibetan flag. Today the Tibetan flag is outlawed in its homeland."

[Feature documentary film "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion"]

Clouds of fear

Roved the sky as the enemies

Chased the sun away from their land

Blacked, got, the snow

As the footsteps by enemies

Chased the peace away

From their land

Hope and light,

The Snow Lion brings

Through wisdom

Hate and lies,

Dragon infuses into freedom

The land of snow

Being invaded by enemies

Shrines and beauties dressed up in ruins

One can't believe

Any words said by enemies

Cultural invasion begins

Suspicious walls

Prison of glass

Freedom is now stuck

Behind the bars of past

Curse...uprising curse

Enemies of compassions

Despotic thirst

Waves of hate...undertowed

Tragic fate...sinking

Waves of hate...undertowed

Mourning braves...drowning

"When I see beings of wicked nature oppressed by violent misdeeds and affliction...May I hold them dear, as if I had found a rare and precious treasure."

[The 14th Dalai Lama]
