When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called The Peril.
When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are called The threat.

When We were closed our doors, You smuggled Drugs to Open Markets.
When We Embrace Freed Trade, You blame us for Taking away your jobs.
　　
When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your "fair share".
When We were putting the broken pieces together again, "Free Tibet" you screamed, "it was an invasion!"
　　
So, We Tried Communism, You hated us for being Communists
When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being Capitalist.
　
When We have a Billion People, you said we were destroying the planet.
When We are tried limited our numbers, you said It was human rights abuse.

When We were Poor, You think we are dogs.
When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts.
　　
When We build our industries, You called us Polluters.
When we sell you goods, You blame us for global warming.
　　
When We buy oil, You called that exploitation and Genocide.
When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation.
　　
When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us.
When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that Violating Human Rights.

When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech.
When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed-Xenophoics.
　　
Why do you hate us so much? We asked.
"No," You Answered, "We don't hate You."
　　
We don't Hate You either,
But Do you understand us?
　　
"Of course We do," You said,
"We have AFP, CNN and BBCs..."
　　
What do you really want from us?
Think Hard first, then Answer...
　　
Because you only get so many chances,
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for this one world.
　　
We want One World, One Dream, And Peace On Earth.
- This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.

附林教授的解释邮件：

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your enthusiastic praise and support.  Several of you have asked for my authorization for translation into Chinese and/or reprinting.  Since this was an anonymous poem circulating in the email, I suppose that the author would not mind to be quoted, translated or reprinted.  But I was not the author of the poem.  Please see below.

This is to clarify that the poem circulated in the email recently was not my work.  I received it via email last week.  There was no author shown.  I read it with great interest and was impressed very much.  I then decided to share it with my friends through my email network.  Apparently some of them forwarded it to their friends, and in a few days, it has reached a large number of readers.  Because my email is set with a signature block, some of the recipients assumed that I was the author.  This is a misunderstanding and I should not be credited for its success. I appreciate compliments from many within the last few days, but I must say that I am not the one to be credited.  I am trying to trace back the email routes to see if I can find the original author.I was informed today that it was also quoted in Wall Street Journal: There has been a  poem by an anonymous author circulating in the internet recently.  I feel relieved because I was not cited as the author.  Thank you for your attention.
