May the grain of the past
Tell the story.
May history speak
Of the truth
That must
Never be buried
Like heads in the sand,
Or in hesitant voices
That won’t take a stand.
May the stain of the past
Be the guide to these times
So no alleged ‘fine men’
Torch-lit hate in the night
Once again propagate
Let return
Evil’s blight.
