Victors
History is written by the victors
Old history of the vanquished dies
More citizens become the victims
Jailed for the spoken past time lies
New rhetors set the TV truth
New garden owners smell new roses
And like it happened in my youth
The Europe gains the new exodists
The gates are closing, but I’m home
I’m sitting here writing stories
The leaders come and leaders go
I cannot change their plot of worries
Some monuments will be demolished
Some will be proudly erected
Some writers books will be abolished
Some other writers recommended
Some businesses they’ll double tax
Some won’t be taxed at all, guess why
The victors call me to their acts
I've no desire to reply.
