Liu Xiao honoured with a Nobel Peace Prize,
A shock wave went through China as Beijing cold,
Comrades from authoritarian sleep never did rise,
The humanist and the democrat,world did applaud.
Liu Xiao stood for human rights and democracy,
Greater political freedom for China he did advocate,
On Christmas Day Liu was jailed without mercy,
Eleven years of jail term,he languishes till date.
His efforts since Nineteen Eighty Nine did perform,
Professor and lead author of the progressive Charter,
A Manifesto that called for democratic reform,
The state called him a criminal,a subversive later.
What a great Nobel Revolution in Oslo !
Fittingly awarded true comrade Liu Xiao.
