The Grand Verses

 

 

Hongzhi Li

 

(English Translation)

 

(Pre-publication online edition, January 1, 2023)

 

 

 


 

Singing for All Lives

The 5,000 years of civilization lead back to Heaven

So brilliant its splendor, divinities sigh in admiration

Antiquity’s wisdom was a path laid down by the Divine

While modern ways and thought follow the Devil’s lead

Atheism and evolution are doctrines of poison

A people without tradition are like a lakebed barren

Most lives on this earth were once divine, before

   incarnating here in anticipation of the Creator

Return to Heaven and you shall find true bliss

Our limbs move in dance as we offer deliverance

Each note of our instruments carries compassion

May this song fulfill the Creator’s wish to bring salvation

Only the Creator Can Save You

Catastrophe looms over man, though he sees it not

Embrace the traditional to be cleansed and saved

Modern thought and ways bring only self-harm

The Red Beast deceives you with atheism and evolution

The heavens are crumbling as the cosmic cycle ordained

Danger engulfs man and divine alike as uncertainty reigns

Seeking safety, most lives incarnated here from above

To await the Creator’s new cosmos and salvation for all

For He alone may deliver us from the disaster,

  and none could possibly compare

What Our Lives Hope For

Most people are divinities incarnate,

   here to await the Creator

But over all the many lifetimes

   vows were forgotten and outlooks changed

The way back to Heaven has been blazed,

   though it is shrouded in mist

Man’s warped thinking and conduct

   spells ruin for posterity

The doctrines of atheism and evolution

   are doing humanity harm

But the Creator now has the Devil Red,

   Satan, pinned underfoot

And it is at His command that

   followers of Dafa strive to save lives

Discover the truth to clear away

   whatever may impede your salvation

 

January 31, 2018

The Pledge

Life was bestowed upon man by the Creator

The ways of tradition were by Him laid down

In following them we may discover His path,

   and return to Heaven, made pure

With the loss of tradition goes our humanity

Modern ways of thinking are a morass most deep

The doctrines of atheism and evolution

    are promulgated at the Devil Red’s decree

Most human lives were divine before coming here,

    and with the Creator a pledge made

True glory lies in discovering His way, doing

   spiritual practice, and forging a body divine

For you once promised to bring salvation

   to your own Kingdom and its many lives

What Weighs On An Adherent’s Mind[1]

Though China is my home, I wander the West;

My thoughts linger ever on my homeland,

Worrying about my beloved, my dearest.

Most human lives in this world were once divine,

The Creator’s deliverance back to Heaven they await.

Modern thought and ways are the Devil’s ploys,

Atheism and evolution are a fantasy, false.

So that the truth may be spread near and far,

I faced persecution, and now wander foreign lands.

 

Summer of 2018

Newfound Awareness

Through life many stumble, seeking empty titles

Endless is the strife, spellbound by earthly glories

Wallowing in filth and mire, saddled by ills

Regret comes late, with reflection in the waning years

Our lives are innately divine and were Heaven born

The universe faced calamity, and nothing could be done

To this earth we thus came, to await the Creator

Heaven again becomes possible to any who

   shed their karma and are cleansed of sin

God’s path is available to those not blinded

   by attachments to this world

Atheism is backed by a feral thing

Evolution is a dogma wicked and without base

Man’s conduct today strays far from the Divine

Many a view and belief prove to be obstacles

How many can be saved?
How many shall make it through?

 

August 20, 2018

To Return to Heaven in This Life

Millions of years we traversed

Passing through countless planes above

To await the Creator we descended to this world

Who at time’s end forges all of creation anew

And spreads Dafa, the Great Way, to save all

Most human lives are divine beings incarnate

Suffering this world, awaiting the destined day

Let not modern thought blind your sight

Atheism and evolution do nothing but deceive

Destiny has guided you through many lifetimes

All for your return to Heaven in this life

 

August 31, 2018

Dafa’s Adherents Have Guidance to Offer

Few are the days left before disaster descends

Those who walk the earth were once kings above

To this world they came to await the Creator

For spiritual discipline, Heaven is the reward

A once-in-eons opportunity is now at hand

Yet so many are preoccupied with worldly gain

Truth with a liberating power spreads across the lands

Though many eyes are blinded by prejudice

May you be freed of your binds and find the truth

The adherents of Dafa have guidance to offer

 

September 7, 2018

Restoring the Three Realms

How many autumns have passed,
  tucked away in this mountain valley?

The Way rectifies the heavens,

  and the old universe disappears.

One day shall I depart this mountain,

  and make right the troubled world.

The meddling demons and evildoers,

  shall then have nowhere to flee.

 

September 23, 2018

For You and All

We can be together only in memory

Oh how we basked in love’s sweet breeze

But save for my feelings, persecution has
  taken everything away

And left you with tears of worry for me

Most lives came from Heaven to await the Creator

But atheism and evolution sow confusion now

Modern thought and ways lead down a dead end

To return to Heaven is life’s true purpose

I strive to spread the truth to all

But to ensure no harm befalls you

We can be together only in memory

 

December 12, 2018

The Love That Dafa’s Followers Feel

We must turn back the clock, regrettably

Lest the persecution ensnare you as well

And harm befall you; we must part ways

I want to share with others the meaning of life

Most lives in this world hail from Heaven,

   and are here to await the Creator

Atheism and evolution are harming humanity

Modern thought and ways are mankind’s failure

So that you and all lives may gain salvation

I strive to spread the truth far and wide

 

December 23, 2018

Obstinate and Foolish

Beneath clouds of darkness, blotting out all that’s bright

Dafa’s followers strive to rescue lives, never ceasing

But in these end times many care only for money

Fooled by ghosts and spirits, they lend evil a hand

Committing unpardonable sins, yet realizing not

That the work of Creation is to see you back to Heaven

 

January 1, 2019

No Choice

In this lifetime did we meet

Love suffusing our hearts

But in order to spare you the oppression I suffer

We have no choice but to remain apart

Most human lives are divinities incarnate

Who await the Creator’s deliverance

Atheism and evolution are doctrines false

Modern thought and ways harm oneself

So that this weighty message may be spread

We must be apart, owing to the persecution

Until one day the Red Tide recedes

 

January 6, 2019

Fade to Dust

Most in this mortal world,

    did come for the Way

Only to lose their purpose,

    entering this beguiling place

For those who slumber still

    despite Dafa’s spread and suppression

This life and all its treasures,

    shall fade to dust

 

January 22, 2019

The Divine Is Shown

Their dance dispels karma’s dark clouds

Their heavenly music awakens our true selves

All this is the Creator’s grace bestowed

Free yourself of modern thought and ways bizarre

Recover the kindness and honesty you once knew

Atheism and evolution are a cancer that mars the soul

The ways of tradition lead to Heaven’s dais

The Divine manifests for the rescue of our souls

What you now sense and see are His designs

Braving dark tides to mercifully save us

I embrace the world through Shen Yun

 

January 23, 2019

Grace Beyond Words

Our dance is imbued with the power to save

The music stirs goodness in your very soul

Resplendent colors awaken your true self

Beware evolution’s deceptive doctrines

Modern thought and ways change humankind

We display the Creator’s compassion

His ineffable grace kindles your flames of hope

January 25, 2019

From Seas to Trees

I incarnated, life after life,

   so that the world could be saved

Risking life and limb,

   my resolve grew ever more adamant
None are aware of

   the hardships I have borne

I watched from a cold and lofty peak

   as the tides of time

   slowly covered seas with trees


January 29, 2019

Blessed Are They Who Know

Though wintry winds may lash my cheeks

The Great Way of Dafa warms my heart

Madness fueled by deceit cannot last

The Creator now offers deliverance to Heaven

Most every human life is a divine incarnation,
    so let not this world confuse you

Modern ways and thought spell ruin
Atheism and evolutionary theory lead astray

So that I may share this truth with all

Undaunted by the persecution and madness

I brave bitter cold and scorching heat to deliver truth

             
February 16, 2019

Sweeping Away the Dust

Most in this world are divinities in human form

Who came here in droves to learn the Way

But, over lifetimes, our purpose was forgotten

Blinded were we by the lure of earthly joys

Modern thought and ways head towards a precipice

Atheism and evolution wander upon the Devil’s path

But the Creator hath come to save all of creation

The eons spent awaiting Him were not in vain

If you understand now, then seek the truth

The Creator called upon me to sweep away
   the dust clouding your vision

Sacred

We hail from the far-off East

Driven by a mission sacred

With compassion filling our breast

Most lives in this world are

   divine beings in the flesh

But for earthly gain they

    harm themselves unknowingly

Modern thought and ways

   are without any compass

Behind atheism and evolution

   lurks an agenda hidden

Your true hope is to learn the Way

   and return to Heaven

Heaven’s gates are now open

    but shan’t remain for long

What I convey is the truth

For the Creator calls upon me

   to deliver lives back to Heaven

 

April 8, 2019

Foretold

From my earliest days I heard the elders foretell

That a Red Scourge would bring decades of disorder

Moral values and traditions would meet with ruin

Leaving behind a world obsessed only with money

Before our eyes the elders’ vision unfolds

Modern thought and ways lead us to the brink

Atheism and evolution weave lies upon lies

Those who persecute the followers of Dafa

    commit an unprecedented sin

The elders said: Hold fast the goodness in your heart

Holy ones will rise as the Red Regime falls

And out of mercy the Creator will come to save

So seek Him, and find the golden-lilied path back to Heaven

 

April 25, 2019

Towards Salvation

I sing the truth as salvation unfolds at time’s end

The communist regime has criminalized man’s faith

And so we are persecuted and must wander afar

Lost are my wealth and rank, yet I remain at ease

To save lives is a mission I must not forsake

The Creator has come and offers a Way divine

Most who walk the earth are divinities reborn,

   having come here as their final hope

Atheism and evolution are the Devil’s snares

Modern thought and ways make little sense

Tradition and kindness ennoble our character

And these shall lead us toward salvation

I sing truth meant to stir each listener’s soul

My voice shall grow in strength as the

   communist regime thunderously falls

 

April 29, 2019
En route to Los Angeles from London by plane

Five Thousand Years Anew

Beautiful angels, pure as jade,
    heavenly maidens incarnate

Glancing backwards, smiles beautiful,

    as strands of silk whirl gracefully

Colorful sleeves flit in and out,

    rainbows freely spinning

Five thousand years of tradition

    are here on display anew

 

May 26, 2019

The Men of Shen Yun

With bearing most impeccable,

    champions in the world of dance

Handsome and dignified,

    aspiring to the loftiest heights

Upright they soar through the air,

    a divinely offered dance of yore

Flying onto the stage with spinning feet,

    like heavenly generals they arrive

 

May 27, 2019

To Heaven Through Dafa

With compassion welling in our hearts

We bring a precious, life-redeeming book

And reveal truth in these dark end times

Most people of this earth did divinely descend

To await the Creator’s coming and summons

He has now arrived and spreads Dafa

His teaching can prepare body and soul for Heaven

Break free of modern thought and ways

Atheism is man’s greatest conceit

Evolution is a doctrine yet more absurd

Humanity’s cultural heritage was divinely bestowed

Free your mind of biases to gain redemption

Discover the practice of Dafa and return to Heaven

 

June 6, 2019

The Cataclysm

Though the Master may be in this world,

   his powers range in the heavens above

Seeing a mortal body rectifying the Way,

   divine and devil alike lose all reason

The Red Beast and meddlesome gods insult Dafa

Assuming a multitude of guises, these gods

   are led along to their annihilation

Infinite is the sin of persecuting Dafa’s disciples

Change is unstoppable if divinely ordained

In the end times, the universe teems with fiends

Who shall fuel the flames that forge a world new

 

July 4, 2019

Gazing Upon the Moon

Amidst the mountains we take in the moon bright

Joyful are lives under the sky on this night

The Divine Realm is not steeped in human sentiment

Yet cosmic change floods in all the same

The Devil Red now cowers in the Three Realms

And those lives being saved jump with joy

As the fiends who trouble this world are purged

Sacred music can be heard here beneath the moon

 

August 15, 2019

Hard to Eclipse

Over our many lives we lose sight of home

Status, wealth, and joy are mistaken for success

Yet most human beings did from Heaven descend

Here they have awaited the Creator’s coming

Modern thought and ways veer far from the Divine

Evolutionary theory cannot bear the light of day

Atheism brings harm to humanity

Eclipsing mankind’s sense of hope

But the Dafa that leads back to Heaven is now taught

And its followers know the truth

Cast aside doubt, end your confusion,
   and stride upon the path divine

 

August 23, 2019

Board the Ark

From the universe’s deepest recesses we came

Ascending now the stage to help our Creator save

Sacred is the mission we have assumed

Shouldering the hopes of countless souls

Most human lives were once divine,

   only to become lost in this mortal world

But it was to become pure again and gain

   the Creator’s salvation that they came

Modern thought and ways are cancerous

The godless shall turn to dust and not be saved

Earthly joys and goods go not past the grave

So board the Ark and be freed of suffering!

Board the Ark and sail back to Heaven, clear!

 

August 24, 2019

Let Go of Worldly Concerns to Find the Divine Path

A hope from long ago

A vow from times remote

Life after life have we reincarnated

Over ages spanning changes vast

As the seasons have come and gone,

  we’ve looked forward to the destined day

Waiting as countless moons waxed and waned,

   for a return to our heavenly home

Finally the Creator has come to impart Dafa

Fulfilling the wish of those who came to this earth

Seek for truth even as the world spirals downward,

   and realize your blessed fate

For only by letting go of worldly concerns,

   shall you find the divine path you seek

 

August 24, 2019

Trapped By One’s Own Ways

Under heavens vast,

    and through lands expansive,

    the rivers ebb and flow

Ages come and eras pass,

    but for whom is this all?

Daoists have taught the Way,

    and Buddhas the Dharma

But how many are aware,

    of the reason for Creation?

August 25, 2019

The Folly of Disbelief

The gusts of autumn are oft most cold

While clouds at sunset are oft most gold

A pompous scoundrel has wrought a century of evil

But he shall one day awake from his rosy dream,

    and behold it crumbling to dust

Who steers from the helm as the world is made anew?

The Creator, seeking to redeem Heaven and Earth,

Brings principle ()

    to the universe vast (hóng),

    determined (zhì)

        to save all back to Heaven

 

August 31, 2019

The Divine Path to Salvation

The cycle of reincarnation turns unceasingly

Most human lives began above, then divine

We mired ourselves in this world over ages long

So that we could welcome the Creator and learn Dafa

And now in His name we offer deliverance

He calls us to rouse lost souls for return to Heaven

So fall not under the spell of this illusory world

Modern habits of mind obscure our true thoughts

Atheism and evolution are without valid base
Truth shall open the way to heavenly salvation

 

August 31, 2019

An Impromptu Verse

The universe spans from minuscule to giant, so vast

I rest against a balustrade, watching the world go past

The Red Dynasty will not last

For millennia its name shall be cursed unabashed

To China, once again, will return culture true

The ancient tongue heard in the Middle Kingdom anew

Balance will be restored to yin and yang, then no longer awry

And, returning to the capital, shall I rest some place on high

 

September 3, 2019

The Blessed

No amount of wealth can ward off disease

No amount of power can change one’s fate

Feelings are a fleeting thing yet sway us so

Most people are higher beings, divine at core

Who await the Creator’s summons to salvation

Modern thought and ways have a sinister side

Atheism and evolution were born of ignoble intent

The Dafa that saves is now widely taught,

   but the choice is yours whether to learn

Waver not and join the ranks of the blessed

 

September 3, 2019

Blessings From On High

Deep feelings swell as I sing

A song to lift the haze of existence

Merciful salvation now unfolds

The Creator has come to the earth

Modern thought is a cancer poisonous

Atheism denies our nature divine

Evolutionary theory is of foolishness born

True are these words though unadorned

May these notes energize the body and free the mind

A blessed path to salvation is tied to this stage

Your destiny lies in Dafa, which made this world

As grace overflows, a heavenly path opens

 

September 7, 2019

Led By the Threads of Destiny

Vast is the world, seen from heights lofty

I sing aloud a song of compassion to lift the veil

Spreading sweet dew near and far, East to West

Offering the multitudes deliverance from this world

Most lives on this earth were once divine in Heaven

And have suffered for the salvation of their people above

Awaiting the Creator and his deliverance back to Heaven,

    with a body to be forged divine anew

 

September 7, 2019

Thus I Shan’t Tire

I herald the truth, far and wide

Have you considered why you turn away?

Perhaps the persecution makes you afraid

Or perhaps you have succumbed to its lies

Most human lives hail from heavenly kingdoms

Having come to this world when the universe

   was imperiled, waiting for change

The Creator is fulfilling his promise of restoration

As Dafa is taught in the world,

   salvation hinges on people’s views

Evil ones abase themselves of their own volition

While a heavenward path awaits the kind

And thus I shan’t tire of proclaiming the truth

 

September 20, 2019

Seeing Reason

Dafa rings out across the lands,

     stirring up dust

That gathers in a noisome cloud,

     a band of ruffians, Communist

From the many firmaments above,

     a miasma from corpses incinerated

       descends

Shrouding the world in darkness,

    an evil that knows no end

Amidst the universe’s destruction

    how many are truly divine?

To interfere with the new world’s building

    is a crime unpardonable

While the universe was first established

    and still going strong

    it conformed to the Way

But with decline came deviation:

    selfishness began to hold sway

As the evil awaits elimination

    at the end of time

How many can truly be saved

    now that deliverance is offered?

While heaven and earth are all awry,

    who can still see reason?

 

September 20, 2019

The Challenges of Saving Self and Other

The spiritual work of a Dafa disciple is not inherently hard

’Tis merely that layer upon layer of worldly desires impede

The superior man meets adversity head-on with a smile

The average man can nary keep calm when faced with ordeal

The lesser man fails to abolish his human wants and thoughts

For Dafa to be offered in this world is no ordinary affair

One must save both self and other to be spiritually complete

Many may talk the talk, but how many can walk the walk?

 

September 22, 2019

Dafa Leads Back to Heaven

As tho’ in a lone canoe, we go through life

In times of serenity we float free of worries

Yet in turbulence we are at the mercy of the waves

No end in sight, no shore to be found

Most lives from Heaven hail, though the mission is forgotten

Our divinity is prisoner to atheism and evolution

Keep good and kind, resisting today’s wayward trends

Stay true to tradition as the world declines,

   and the Divine shall remain at your side

The practice of Dafa shall bring you home to Heaven

 

September 27, 2019

A Reflection

Mist winds around the towers and terraces

Incense wafts fragrantly towards the face

Removed from the secular realm is this serene place

So tranquil it can divest one of the mortal coil

 

September 27, 2019

The Sacred Path Leads Not Astray

Our lives pass by in the blink of an eye

Striving for worldly success, fiercely we vie

But at the grave we part with all to which we cling

Ashes to ashes, in our hands nothing we bring

To await the Creator to this earth we did come

Learn the Way, practice accordingly,

    and be brought to a divine kingdom

Atheism and evolution are the Devil Red’s deceit

For who else is behind modern thoughts and conceits

Hold fast to goodness and to tradition’s way

The sacred path redeems and leads not astray

 

September 27, 2019

Fail Ye Not

Over our lifetimes we awaited the day,

But the age of destruction imperiled all things.

So the Creator now maketh the universe anew,

Out of His love for all living creatures.

Most in this world were divine before coming here,

   shouldering their heavenly kingdom’s trust.

I now spread the truth at the Creator’s behest,

Tread not the path of modern ways or thought.

Earthly glories cannot to Heaven be brought;

Atheism and evolutionary theory harm mankind.

Stay true to tradition and the good, and sell not your soul;

Fail ye not, for your kingdom’s lives above await salvation.

 

October 1, 2019

At Dragon Springs

A Song of the Sacred

Sacred is the song I sing

The melody emanates energy that stirs the soul

While its words are meant to dispel all that is not right

Most human lives came to this earth from

   Heaven, and are here to await the Savior

He is the Creator incarnate, who teaches Dafa

Heed not the mad cries of atheism and evolution

Modern thought and ways lure one towards Hell

The Red Dragon stirs a whirlpool meant to destroy

Stay true to tradition and kindness for sweet blessings

Dafa is a swift vehicle to salvation,

    and what your soul has long awaited

 

November 3, 2019

Startled by the Thought

At the arisal of His one thought:

   to save all lives that exist

Fierce winds were whipped up

   all throughout the heavens

As He descended to the world,

   danger arose at every plane

A myriad of demons fought

   the birth of the universe new

But all that they wish for

   shall never come to pass

Madness consumes the meddling

   deities in these end times

While the Old Forces have

   played the Devil’s part

All these shall collapse

   alongside the old universe

 

November 26, 2019

What Joy Is Really About

Wherein lies true joy?

Riches cannot buy a body hale

Renown and earthly love are as fleeting as dust

Modern thought and ways keep us from Heaven

To deny God is to deceive oneself

The ways of tradition make us honest and simple

Kind souls win the regard of heavenly ones above

Most lives were divine before
   incarnating here to await the Creator

In these final days one may gain the Way and

   leave pain and confusion behind, in body divine

You came to this earth with the sacred task

   of saving your holy kingdom and kin above

Heaven’s drums sound for the spreading
   of the holy one’s Great Way of Dafa

Oh, how many will rouse and see this

   dispassionately and clearly?

Oh, how many will gain salvation

   and return to the halls of Heaven?

 

December 12, 2019

Shen Yun Gives Hope

So that all may know the truth

May my song resound far and wide

Most human lives are divinities incarnate

Who await the Creator’s deliverance to Heaven new

We have come to this earth as the universe crumbled

Atheism and evolution are deceitful tricks that harm

Modern thought and ways change us for the worse

The means to salvation is not as we imagined

Who knew Shen Yun had the power to redeem?

Heaven’s gates are open, but shan’t remain for long

This is the Creator’s great blessing

This is the hope of humankind!

 

December 24, 2019

He Brings Forth Light

It was the Creator who breathed life

   into man, the divine, and all of creation

And it was He who laid down the cosmic cycle

   of formation, stasis, decline, and dissolution

Most human lives in this world are higher

   beings incarnate, here awaiting

   His deliverance from misfortune

’Tis only that our divine nature has been lost over

   the many rounds of reincarnation

The great sins that beings have accrued

   have led to this disastrous state

Modern thought and today’s ways

   are but the Devil’s path

Atheism and evolutionary theory are

   wicked and without base

Men cannot help but sink into the mire

   of this chaotic and troubled world

The Red Beast of Communism spreads

   a disease most poisonous, near and far

The Creator has now come to this world,

   though in a manner uneventful

He uses Truth to seek out the good

   and cleanse them until wholly pure

With the spreading of Dafa on this earth,

   He brings forth brilliant light

 

2020

For Your Deliverance

Compassion brims in our hearts, vast

Goodness incarnate, wrought in our noble forms

Unwavering in front of the strongest of gales
Remaining humble and calm when praised

For the sake of the earth’s people, we came

Yet most have forgotten they were once divine

The Creator hath laid forth a way back to Heaven

We herald the truth in these mad last days

And for this, we are persecuted

Danger shall not change our convictions

True faith fulfilled shall deliver us from darkness

 

2020

My Song

An old song from my hometown entreats:

Be not carried away by communism’s tide

The Creator shall come at time’s end,

    giving manna to the earth

And the saved shall receive protection Divine

Most lives hail from Heaven, yet now are lost

Modern values and ways lead us to the brink

Atheism and evolution are poisoned drink

Sell not your soul to the Devil Red

Hold fast to tradition and goodness, 
    for the scourge of communism shall not last

Dafa’s followers offer us truth that leads heavenward

 

2020

By Faith Alone

With a heart pure and good

With a wish to see Dafa widely spread

I stand by the Divine in this troubled world

For I can see the sorrow, regret, and hopelessness

    that shall fill those who believe not

The Creator shows compassion and miraculous might

The Divine made us for salvation to Heaven

Abide by faith as tradition has taught

Be not beasts at the Devil’s beck and call

Only in God’s ways are blessings to be had

For all of creation was made by His hand

 

2020

Your State of Mind in Troubled Times

Many wonder why this world is so troubled

Our woes stem from the absence of goodness

The godless shall perish at the End of Days

Modern thought and ways lead only to the Devil’s side

Man was not divinely made for such a dissolute life

But to await the God-given chance of return to heaven

The Creator turns the Falun out of immense grace

You came not to this earth for worldly wants

Distance yourself from China’s wicked Party
    and its mad last throes, to be spared disaster

For surviving the judgment is all that matters

 

2020

Thoughts Block the Way

Our hopes trace back to a distant past

Our calling dates to time immemorial

Most human lives came from Heaven with a wish

But our way was lost over our many
   lifetimes in this mortal realm

Our nature has rebelled with the world’s decline

Behind atheism and evolution, Satan lurks

The Creator spares us from universal disaster

    and renews all of existence

At time’s end He delivers us to Heaven,

    and turns the Wheel of Falun

People are now taking note and taking up

   the practice of Dafa, which saves

But how many shall gain deliverance;

    how many shall be tormented by regret?

Salvation is not hard won;

    it is merely our own thoughts that block us

 

January 21, 2020

London

Thousands of Years Led to This Day

Returning to Heaven is not fantasy; there is a way

Dafa offers a Great Vehicle heavenward

You have awaited this lifetime o’er thousands of years

In this moment, the Creator comes to renew the Way

Modern thought and deeds deceive the self

Behind atheism and evolution, an evil specter runs the show

Most human lives are beings divine with a mission

On pilgrimage here, awaiting the Creator’s salvation

He calleth upon us to offer the truth

He calleth upon us to share Dafa far and wide

 

February 19, 2020

With Our Lives We Await

Throughout our lives we await

From the heavens above did most incarnate

O’er all our past lives, little else mattered

   but for our awaiting the Creator

From collapse would the universe He spare

   and all lives the fate of failure

We harm ourselves with modern thought

Denial of God hath a stifling pestilence wrought

Extreme thinking is by the communist Devil set loose

As judgment unfolds, Dafa’s followers use

   truth to pull back lives that downward go

For this role did the Creator bestow

Further Compassion

After the disaster there shan’t be peace of mind

    for those few that remain

Though all conflicts and disarray shall abruptly end

Words of truth were shared in earnest

Yet how many repented and turned toward the good?

Spring will return to the earth; the skies shall clear

And kings will reign again, welcomed by all

As the Way mends the human world,

    in an act of further compassion

People will once again be given a chance

    to tell right from wrong

Sweet Compassion

Standing upon the street corner, worry fills my soul

Catastrophe hangs overhead in these end times

Little direction do people have, so occupied with life

Dafa, the Great Way that saves, opens Heaven’s gates

What the leaflet in my hand conveys is true

I strive to help humanity at the Creator’s behest

Most lives in this world are higher beings incarnate

The doctrines of atheism and evolution bewitch men so

Modern thought and ways do harm unto oneself

These truthful words can bring health and salvation

A glint of mercy, a whiff of compassion sweet

     in these troubled times

Judged by Our Response

I sing a song in this world that brings higher truth

It speaks not of romantic love nor tender ties

Disaster looms over humanity in these end times

And the day of judgment draws nigh

Good and evil face off, revealing how

   each person’s heart sides as each decides

which side to go is a display of good and evil

To esteem good or pursue evil is a personal choice

After the disaster has passed,

   only the good and virtuous shall remain

The General Election

The communist Devil hath made chaos

    of the once-bright universe

A vast and mighty country is plagued by fraud

With society manipulated, people grow disheartened

When will justice and conscience finally prevail?

The Way Is Here

’Tis a song sung from deep within

Most human lives from Heaven hail

Centuries of past lives each has lived

For the Way we came, though now we are lost

The Creator holy has entered this world

He quietly observes good and evil in these troubled times

Wicked are the doctrines of atheism and evolution

The Devil Red plagues this world, like a cancer

Today’s views and values reflect our corrupted state

Yet the Creator will do his utmost to dispel the evil haze
And right the world with great and boundless Mercy

Heaven ’n Earth shall again be bright like paradise
