The after

The after

What happens after?
When what was loud is now silent
Where a place once filled with cameras go unnoticed 
What once made history is now forgotten 

Later
On TV they'll be a recap
The story will go
They'll manipulate the situation 
Bonus if its told by a republican
They'll say
The police were peaceful, we'll be labelled as criminals
I guess it's opposite day
As in fact it was the other way
 
Those who will clean up
Will cry whilst they simultaneously wipe their eyes and wipe peoples blood up
Yes it was violent 
No it wasn't us

But you'll never know
As the real story will be locked up
