Do you hear the gunshots?
Can you feel the bullet?
When you approached death,
Were you raised on a pulpit?
Did you die in shame-
or happiness?
Did they bury your body
with tenderness?
Did they lay your head
on your mother's chest?
Did your father cry
and start an inquest?
Did they start a revolution
painted in lurid red?
Did they build a confessional
where all the sinners pled?
Do you hear the prayers
murmured by every widow
Do you hear the chants:
"All hail the almighty hero!"
Do you hear the rumors
whispered by the dead:
"The whole world ended
In a noble bloodshed."
