No words
can describe how this hunger eats away
in a frenzy fed by loss, fear and loss
each day, smaller rations claim our wage
yet, we remain unchanged by this simple
bloodless coup, where men's pride
we'll drag heavy as a weight
No quarter should be given to unburied dead
Bright and distant like aircraft lights
stands the promise of a life
like a lamp who's light you've lit
but through the process drained your sight
revolution knows only blame
first as whispers then as screams
