Who writes our eulogy?
The victorious
Ah, their enemy, we
Our survival a declaration
our existence a battle field
only victory in obliteration, overkill

We have names
champions blind themselves to them
all our skin can be branded
Criminal, corruptor, sinner, sick

Write your timeline truth
Stain us with your god, your perceptions
mutilate us from our great
If useful enough

This war is not a war we fought
But an eradication
To bear
How we long to bring the bodies home

Give us our history, give us our dead
To history goes the victor
We’ve learned
In our black veils, mourning clothes
Prism light we scatter joyously
To history goes the victor
We
Fight back
