More Poems to Obama by Tibetan Bloggers

High Peaks Pure Earth has translated more poems to Obama. Our previous post was a long poem that had originally been written in Tibetan.

The amusing short poem below was originally written in Chinese by a Tibetan and posted on his blog on November 22, 2009.

Is there any hope?

Following this posting, many Tibetans wrote responses imitating the original unique style of the poem, here are two that High Peaks Pure Earth has translated:
