" Never DEAD"


                                               " NEVER DEAD "

                                                   by CaneGo-Hines

The past is never dead

The cast of terror dances in our head

The lasting images can never be unread

The thrashing words followed by bloodshed

The lashing vines tread our skin

The dashing of all hope for my kin

The flashing fires hid their sins

The past is never dead

The breaking of skulls like old bread

The raping of saints in haunted sheds

The making of children to endure the same dread

The past is never dead

The snatching of souls of those who fled

The creation of a population who is mentally dead

The deletion of self-worth instead

The past is never dead

The past is bloodly red

The past and it's ugly truths must  be said

Over and over again

Until WE WIN
