Mao Tse-tung - poems - REPLY TO COMRADE KUO MO-JO


REPLY TO COMRADE KUO MO-JO

INSCRIPTION ON A PICTURE TAKEN BY COMRADE LI CHIN

--a lu shih
November 17, 1961

A thunderstorm burst over the earth, 
So a devil rose from a heap of white bones. 
The deluded monk was not beyond the light, 
But the malignant demon must wreak havoc. 
The Golden Monkey wrathfully swung his massive cudgel 
And the jade-like firmament was cleared of dust. 
Today, a miasmal mist once more rising, 
We hail Sun Wu-kung, the wonder-worker.
