tiananmen

was it here?
was it here that the bells tolled
and the guns belched bullets
under the crimson sky?
stood there,
in the middle of it all -
stood there gazing
through thick smog
nothing phasing
those metal boots
in the cement fields grazing
under concrete skies and
the cold brick stench
of military lies -

was it here?

was it here that the bells tolled

and the guns belched bulltets
under the crimson sky?
