A meaningful poetry — Everyday Halloween

Friends of Falun Gong Poetry Contest: 2nd Place

by Kathleen Hellen
The letter screams, “Attention!”  K-Mart shoppers.
October’s slaves like leaves, their factories abandoned,
compete for your inspection with the pumpkins on the steps
carved to represent our ghoulish human faces.
Fake tombstones. The animated howl of a skeleton, its eyes glowing red.
Who could know? Inside the packaged set the S.O.S from Unit 8,
Department 2, inside the creepy silhouette, “Mr. Zhang” in fractured
English and Chinese, the paper ripped from the pages of a hard
indoctrination, writing with the refill of a pen, kindly asking: “Sir…
If you occasionally (sic) buy this product …,” asking you to send
this message from the dead, masked as decoration: “Thousands people here….”
How could you know the labors, back breaking? Assaults, beatings.
Manufacture’s sleep deprivation. How could you guess what went wrong
with blue light specials—kidneys, livers, lungs sold in code as UPCs?
Quotes from CNN’s Steven Jiang’s story, “Chinese labor camp inmate tells of true horror of Halloween ‘SOS.’”

Friends of Falun Gong Poetry Contest: WINNER—A Poem of Fact

A Poem of Fact

by Josh Lefkowitz

You think such things could never happen here,
Where (for the most part) people get along,
But tilt your head far Eastward – lend your ear

To China’s persecuted Falun Gong.
A peaceful practice of the mind and body,
Whose members grew 100 million wide.
This did not please the Chinese Commie Party,
And so they snuffed out all these folks (or tried).

Torture. Prison. Labor camps for months.
Organ harvesting (that’s true, I checked).
How crazy, you might think. But think too: once
Power corrupts – well, what do you expect?

So can one poem of fact help turn the tide?
Doubtful, thought the poet, as he tried.
