You stupid American! You think the air in Beijing will pollute your lungs? Then why do your American team still come to the Olypics?
You said you feel sorry about your Tibetan friends? Then why don’t give your money directly to them. Do you really care about them? Are you really friends of them?
You brainless American! Have you ever been to Beijing or Tibet? Do you have any evidence to prove what you said?

I will miss the Olympics. Four years until the next one. By that time those young ladies will be legal Olympic age.

This really is a very powerful poem. Both so timely, as well as wonderfully crafted.

Great poem…I like the meter as well as the social relevance of it.

I think we need to thank every single one of our Olympians for their efforts in China, and not just the ones who win the medals. Sadly, the medal winners get nearly all of the accolades and those who represented our countries but didn’t win, are merely forgotten.

Fascinating poem about the contrasting lives of the Olympians. As a previous commenter said, the structure of the piece is great.
