No place exists in the universe by that name A little Chinese boy of seventeen Jiang Jillian, he did sacrifice His life for his dream cherished. A bullet from an army gun pierced His little heart, took his young life The day after his seventeenth birthday. His crime? He stood for democracy, What he believed was his right! He fell to legalised terrorism By the government machinery He was one of the fourteen hundred odd Young boys and girls died on the fateful day, The third June Nineteen eightynine. A drop in the ocean! A mighty drop... Liberated from the labyrinth of Authoritarian autocracy Called, look at the paradox,communism By the People's Liberation Army- army that liberates those in power From the tearful voice of a few Thousand young quivering lips. Marx turned in his grave with eyes moist And his heart bleeding red, I am sure. Holocaust* repeated, Yet again. The proud mother of young Jillian, Ding Zilin, the Tiananmen Mother** Tears dried, she does not cry anymore. Her husband was committed to jail Being Father of Jiang Jillian. Anybody heard of Tiananmen Square? Where on earth is it, by Mao Tse Tung? No place in the universe by that name.*** *Reference to Nazi Germany. Holocaust in Greek, means "sacrifice by fire". The word is apt here, for "fire" it was, from guns. ** "Tiananmen Mother" is a movement of the relatives of the students who died in the Army firing of 03 June 1989. ***The Chinese Government even today refuses to acknowledge the massacre of 03 June 1989. Aside: I am carried away by Asterix comics, wherein, is said, the Gauls refused to acknowledge the existence of the place, Alesia, where Vercingetorix, the Gaulish chieftain surrendered before Caesar. Julius, that is. Pleaseread "Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield".
