LEADER, HOW COME YOU BECAME A CRIMINAL MONSTER?
— surprised to see security chief Zhou Yongkang reduced to a prisoner

For a long time, you were our leader.
On the chairman’s pedestal,
you stood tall and strong.
On the TV screen,
your vigor was shining.
Your voice carried strength,
you were sound as a bell.
You fought against crime,
you were unforgiving.
When you held the reins,
to protect law and justice for our nation,
every man on the street stood behind you.

Now I know, you became a criminal
only because you lost your power.
If you were still up in control,
no-one could do anything,
no-one would ever dare raise his voice.
Every ounce of a doubt
would have been slander.
Every one not behind you
would be against you.
Each one resisting
would be a traitor.

When you were up and running,
who gave you the highest place at the top?
And when you lost power,
who made you a stinking criminal monster?
Black and white, right and wrong,
Great leader and criminal,
it was all very sudden.

If you held onto crime and controlled justice,
should I believe fairness rules in society?
If greed led you all the way to the peaks,
should I believe in a value system?
How about people judged criminals by the criminal,
are they endangering our nation?

How long will it take till we won’t hear any lie in the media?
How long until power isn’t a wrestling driven by greed?
When will it be that my hand,
a small helpless hand,
becomes a shield to cut off crime when it spreads?

领袖，你为何竟成了罪人
作者：李运启

——惊闻周永康竟成阶下囚

 

曾几何时，你是我们的领袖。

在主席台上，

你大义凛然。

在电视屏幕上，

你意气奋发。

你的声音，

是如此铿锵有力。

你对罪恶，

是如此义愤填膺。

你手握重权，

维护着这个国家的法治与公平，

受着小民百姓的拥护和爱戴。

 

我知道，你之所以成为罪人，

只是因为失去了权力。

如果你仍然大权在握，

谁也奈何不了你，

而且谁也不敢有半点非议。

所有的质疑，

都将是诽谤。

所有的不从，

都将是抗拒。

所有的反对，

都将是背叛。

 

是谁，在你胡作非为时，

将你推到了如此高的位置？

又是谁，在你失去权力时，

将你变成了遗臭万年的罪人？

黑与白，对与错，

伟大与罪恶，

颠倒竟只是瞬间的事情。

 

靠罪恶也能掌握国家的法律机器，

你叫我如何相信社会的公平正义？

靠贪婪也能通往权力的巅峰，

你叫我如何相信社会的评价体系？

那些被罪恶者判罚有罪的罪人，

他们真的在危害着这个社会？

 

什么时候，媒体上将再也听不到一句谎言。

什么时候，权力将不再是贪婪的角力场所。

什么时候，我的一只手，

一只无力的小手，

也能成为斩断罪恶升迁的有力屏障。
