blood and lace

28 years of hand washing
& still the blood remains
As fresh on Chinese streets
As it did that very day

28 years later
& still nothing has changed
China has no freedom
Her people have no say

28 years later
& still lay dead the brave

The world will never forget
She always wears the shame
