About the skulls
The revolution
A flower that blooms from air and soil nutrients
Before the revolution unfolded
The skull shot on the road.
Did that say a word yet?
When faced with demons?
Do statements of opinion still matter?
The law of the sword state that
if can't just do it, go ahead and cut it
It's a revolution.
Don’t just think, let it drive you mad.
Do not hesitate!
The sword of the revolution
If not you, then me.
By Ka Za Win
