it never happened
not in this country
Hoards in the street
Malnourished bodies ached
For more punishment
anything for substistence
no other course
pushed to the verge of death
hungry children, desperate parents
dead and dying loners
police bullets sprayed the crowd of men
silent cries of wives broke through to nowhere
but the “bastard commies” pushed on
nowhere else to go
it never happened
not in this country
so many were in the same struggle
yet knew not to stand
labled as communist, accused of many evils
don’t want to be one of them
the shame
being unable to succeed
or eat or live
kept so many down
it never happened
not in this country
almost all but memory and story
have been erased
lest people remember
who not to trust
remember; it never happened
not here at least.
Until it happens again
