To be free (Tiananmen square)

I saw you there but you didn't see me,

Too busy running from my fires to see,

You duck, you hide, but you cannot escape,

The unremitting reign of my bullets that shape,

Jagged holes in your perfect skin,

And pray to your gods they will forgive you your sins

I saw you there but you didn't see me,

Too busy shouting and unwilling to flee,

"Stop killing, stop killing" you sing to me now,

But now it's too late and my tanks start to plough,

You trip and fall but don't see on what,

When a light comes its a young girl that's been shot,

Bloody cheeks and vacant eyes,

Your heavy heart sinks while her golden soul flies,

I saw you there but you didn't see me,

You stay down and cry, now do you see?

So foolish you were to think you could beat,

The expert tread of my well trained feet,

Stop fighting, be still, can't you see?

Your young friend got what you all wanted,

Now she is free.
