Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time in times forgotten A land saw great conspiracy nameless deleted scores of people leaders sabotaged investigations Journalists boycotted meetings and refused to pen down issues judges indefinitely suspended hearings as clergymen refused to hear confessions Owls that prophesied the homicide migrated to the mountain hide-outs the children that witnessed ugly events could not find speech in their lips The land of darkness became darker As ghosts of victims cried quietly for justice
