Naked Truth

4 April 2013

The country you will visit

For pleasure, education, and experience

This country is the same

I fled

For want of same.

Pleasure was found in hate,

And education was constrained

And witnesses, albeit still alive

Refused

To tell the tale.

It is the grimmest tale

Of which faint echoes sound

In archives, books, and court proceedings,

Proclaiming

The naked truth,

But also I heard voices

Condemning the horrid past.

And promise resurrection and reform

Towards

The love of neighbours.
