this is the day when they captured true blue
and mongoose died never to rise again
when laughing women children and grown men
looked at the world and saw it grow brand-new
we all had hope that no force could subdue
our best desire and the right moment when
all hearts would cease to hurt so we could then
bring the true world we wanted into view
had at last come now all is back to where
the old men with the whip said it should be
no one would want that but it is the fact
our only memory is a passing tear
added in vain to the encircling sea
and we just laugh at the whole useless act
