Year Zero

Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge movement, the leader Pol Pot, Killed twenty-five percent of the population, a fact most people forgot. To spare you is no profit, to destroy you is no loss, That was the ideology of the evil boss. Buddhist monks were killed and religion was banned, No one was safe with this beast in command. Children placed in labour camps, civil rights were abolished, Schools and hospitals shut down, homes were demolished. People getting shot for wearing glasses, laughing and even crying, And if you spoke a foreign language you were definitely dying. Slave labourers dying from overwork, malnutrition and executions, While the U.K. gave the Khmer Rouge plenty of contributions. Minority groups were targeted, Thai, Muslims, Christians and Vietnamese, But they explicitly targeted the ethnic Chinese. Millions of pounds from the U.K., millions of dollars from the states, All working together in terror, they were the best of mates. What Nixon and Kissinger began, Pol Pot completed, And none of them ever showed remorse for all the people they mistreated.
