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.
I just added a couple of lines
