In 1965 I read an article in Newsweek
a mass killing of communists,
about a million, men, women and children.
The writer of this article concluded with:
the communists had brought this slaughter
upon themselves.
But the aftermath of this atrocity still fester,
and the truth has to be told if this country
is ever to find redemption.
Today Bali is a mecca for history ignorant
tourists, who soak up the sun on a beach
that once soaked up the blood of the innocent
