Footsteps in the dark marching on the hearts br Of the stark winter terrain that was the family’s farm br Food shortage in the barn malnutrition starts to harm br No cream or proteins to stabilize their cells br Stomachs start to swell more than legends people tell br br Frozen water in the well dehydration hits the lips br Rags clinging on to hips like rock climbers cling to cliffs br Brain damage then eclipse and then the focus shifts br The root cause of this strife fell down on these misfits br br Because the regime that once deemed br Itself as for the people br Attained diplomatic status and a team br As secret as it was lethal br br Predicated and dedicated to rooting out all foes br And enemies of state or anyone opposed br To their lavish lifestyles and constant talks of heroes br Zero tolerance for arguments on national policy br Broken promises the basis of this all-perfect polity br br Sloppily take and take from the general public br Including any relatives who might have disrupted br Any luscious dinners with their cries of injustice br Crush peaceful marchers with tanks and sniper archers br Shoot into the crowd at anything moving around br In books and newspapers they write a different caption br Business as usual like the whole thing never happenedbr br P.R.
