Sepulcher After Massacre
Now, sepulcher after sepulcher!
Bitter fall-out of a massacre!
After talks failed: the Bilateral
And later the Multilateral:
Fortunate corpses for epitaph,
Missing in action for cenotaph…
Men glory in reckless bloodshed
That succeeds in fields painting red:
Attorneys could them prosecute;
Dissidents they must first execute!
They may be tried for genocide;
Some mosquitoes braved insecticide
Why do we death play like a coupon?
A good shot does that from bad weapon…
In hospital condition serious:
That of shot-in-the-head Prince Julius!
