Who will write for you poems of the vanquished? For history is a blend of anecdotes of the conqueror The conquered ones are the wrong side of civilization Hence why their civilization is never murdered But in villainous feat of folly often commits ******, Thus, you are too wrong my brethren Thus, you are too late my sisteren For, why did you accept to be In your present realm, of despair In which you wallow in the mire Of poverty and serfdom ? Brother, you are too late for so sure No one sings the poetry of vanquished minions Perhaps with wonkish tincture of glory Stand up and sing them yourself.
