Nanking
City on fire
Flames rise higher
Smoke thick in the air
Purple Mountain on the horizon
City of importance
City of stature
The city did fall
It will rise from the ashes
Bad things did happen there
But no force can take away the good
No force can overshadow or defile the good within
The city did burn
But Nanking rose from the ashes
This poem is based on events that are recorded by the book, Rape of Nanking. That book can be found here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95784.The_Rape_of_Nanking
