Crossing frontiers

From the peninsula

The horde advancing

Into China

On the rampage

Insubordination

Cabal of generals

Rebellion



Operate without approval

Divisions run amok

Mobilising border troops

Piling up their stocks



Conducting manoeuvres

Harsh arrogance

Swallow the giant

With malevolence

Increase aggression

Sweep into Chapei

Rotation bombings

Burning Shanghai 



Open game for victors

As they mow civilians down

Public decapitations

But still they did not bow

Imprisonment meant slavery

Mass rapes day and night

Use of chemical weapons

No surrender in sight



Strategy of attrition

Lure intruders far inland

Retreat, harass, attack

Penetrating fragile flanks

Devouring juggernaut

A tactic to repeat

Impossible conquest
