May Fourth
May 4th
On this day the war
Had finally come to our door
The decision-making was poor
Because the night before had been fiery
But it was an overreaction to call out the national corps
This rashness would lead to the death of four
That would rock a nation and a movement to its core
And only increase a nation’s hatred for the man behind the oaken door
Because these students were not do anything more
Than exercising the right that had been given almost two centuries before
May 4th will be forever know as the day bullets were fired in America’s war
