Massacre below a TANK

Pearcemelville 兎敏

  

1 AGAINST a tank

Each year 1 appears
1 before a tank
each year 1 arises
Denying this event
had occurred at all
Propaganda hard at
work 
palnting different scenes
of this shattering massacre
SHOCKINGly reminding us
of the Strength and Brutality
invested in trauma and death
Trauma and DEATH
death below the rolling tracks
of a Liberation Army tank
My God they were asleep!

 

Left behind were twisted poles  lifeless mounds

 

BODIES below canvass

 

 CRUSHED a Rebellion of citizens

All they wanted is a slice
of Independence
Freedom
     Liberty
          a chance for CHANGE

    Oh dear friend, thank you for reminding us, an anniversary date not be be forgotten. I remember watching this live on TV, and couldn't absorb the reality of what was happening. The bravery of the individual and the cowardice of the regime that cannot tolerate any form of criticism or protest. The human heart yearns to be free.
