{mooblock=Viewpoint} no, no, no no more do i want to be a chinaman, brown-visioned with all my yellowish outlooks, yellowish sentiments
nor do I intend to be
a red-skinned big-foot with my ancestors' vast land all occupied by foreign devils
nor a rising black star
with evil pale-faced memories nor a big white boss with all his politically correct dollars
rather, I prefer to be a tiny rock
sitting still at a hilltop, on the roadside watching, observing, or even whistling when there is a wind blowing hard
