Poem: History Will Remember Us by Dosmay(m): 3:27pm On Aug 04, 2016
Spill the blood if you wish Break the bones if you can Set the flesh on fire Destroy the soul Bury the body Even, kill the spirit. And because you are the goddess of history Because you are the controller of time Because you are the unjust chief justice Because you are the lawless lawyer Our death will be swept beneath the rug of time And not a pint of dust will be left. You lie! History will remember us History will remember today History will remember you too How you undressed justice in the marketplace And raped democracy right in our face How you slit the throat of truth And killed the only hope in our youth. History will remember us How you led us to the gallows Amidst cheers from your wicked fellows. How you inserted us into ropes And then you let go…you let go… Destroy the soul Burn the body Kill the spirit But, History will remember today The day we dangled to death.
