Tiananmen Square Massacre Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Tiananmen Square Massacre

Rating: 5.0


Courage not fear
In hearts of students
Fear not courage
In hearts of tyrants

Democracy for all
China answered the call
Massacring their own
Killing dog for bone

Tiananmen Square Massacre
Caused an international stir
But President Bush lacked the spine
Chose to dine with cheese and red wine

Trade and investment with tyrant
Was the damned message he had sent
Sacrificing democracy
Brutality and tyranny
