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. |
