Reply to Comrade Kuo Mo-Jo

By Mao Tse Tung


On this tiny globe

A few flies dash themselves against the wall,

Humming without cease, sometimes shrilling, sometimes moaning,

Ants on the locust tree assume a great-nation swagger

And mayflies lightly plot to topple the giant tree

And the west wind scatters leaves over Changan,

And the arrows are flying, twanging.

So many deeds cry out to be done,

And always urgently;

The world rolls on,

Time presses

Ten thousand years are too long,

The four seas are rising clouds and waters raging,

The Five Continents are rocking, wind and thunder roaring.

Our force is irresistible
