No romance in protestA Poem by Guillaume CouguéJan Palach's ashes tried to stop them. Mohandas' blisters tried to stop them. Tiananmen Square's dead tried to stop them. Thích Quảng Đức's ashes tried to stop them. The man against the masses but there is no romance only the bitter taste of burnt on the masses tongues. And those that taste it will one day be numbed to its sting as they feast on it with Beelzebub And those who shed it have no time for the luxury of contemplation for they burn as if they share the company of Beelzebub. No friend, there is no romance in protest. © 2011 Guillaume Cougué |
