BLOODBATH IN BEIJING

CHINA'S BUREAUCRACY IS ARCHAIC,
IT'S OUT OF STEP WITH THE TIME.
THE STUDENTS OF CHINA HAVE PROTESTED,
A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT REASON OR RHYME.

IDEALISM BURNED IN STUDENTS' EYES.
AS THEY APPEALED FOR THE DEMOCRATIC WAY.
THE STATUS QUO IS FIRMLY ENTRENCHED,
WITH THEIR ARMY TO CARRY THE DAY.

THE STUDENT PROTESTS ARE VICTORIOUS,
AS THEY HAVE FORCED THE GOVERNMENT'S HAND.
THE BUREAUCRACY MUST USE MARTIAL LAW,
FOR REASONS THE POEPLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO LEG TO STAND ON,
TO THE COMMON MAN , THE STUDENTS ARE RIGHT.
THE PROTEST WILL SPREAD TO THE COUNTRY,
AS DARKNESS IS OVERWHELMED BY LIGHT.
