|                                                      
|	When we were the Sick Man of Asia, We were called The 
|	Yellow Peril.                                         
|	When we are billed to be the next Superpower, we are  
|	called The Threat.                                    
|	When we closed our doors, you smuggled drugs to open  
|	markets.                                              
|	When we embrace Free Trade, You blame us for taking   
|	away your jobs.                                       
|	When we were falling apart, You marched in your troops
|	and wanted your fair share.                           
|	When we tried to put the broken pieces back together  
|	again, Free Tibet you screamed, It Was an Invasion!   
|	When tried Communism, you hated us for being          
|	Communist.                                            
|	When we embrace Capitalism, you hate us for being     
|	Capitalist.                                           
|	When we have a billion people, you said we were       
|	destroying the planet.                                
|	When we tried limiting our numbers, you said we abused
|	human rights.                                         
|	When we were poor, you thought we were dogs.          
|	When we loan you cash, you blame us for your national 
|	debts.                                                
|	When we build our industries, you call us Polluters.  
|	When we sell you goods, you blame us for global       
|	warming.                                              
|	When we buy oil, you call it exploitation and         
|	genocide.                                             
|	When you go to war for oil, you call it liberation.   
|	When we were lost in chaos and rampage, you demanded  
|	rules of law.                                         
|	When we uphold law and order against violence, you    
|	call it violating human rights.                       
|	When we were silent, you said you wanted us to have   
|	free speech.                                          
|	When we are silent no more, you say we are            
|	brainwashed-xenophobics.                              
|	Why do you hate us so much, we asked.                 
|	"No", you answered,"we don't hate you." 
|	We don't hate you either,                             
|	But, do you understand us?                            
|	"Of course we do", you said,                            
|	"We have AFP, CNN and BBC's... "                        
|	                      
|	What do you really want from us?                      
|	Think hard first, then answer...                      
|	Because you only get so many chances.
|	Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for This One World.
|	We want One World, One Dream, and Peace on Earth.     
|	This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.
