Distant peoples are shown to us
In picture books and online
Yet behind those photos is never defined
The great injustices of their time
Innocent minds are taken on that bus
The goal to get them drunk on liar’s wine
If all they know is a history unsigned
They’ll never fight against society’s prime
To combat that we must forever fuss
Show everyone that the story is a lie by design
That the genocidal conquers to whom they are aligned
Will fill their souls with mercurial grime
With that knowledge in hand, they may suss
That their actions were naught but the oppressors’ punchline
Understanding may finally to their eyes unblind
All their history is a long war crime
