Echoing The Martial Rule: 1081 in '72
It was dark days of martial rule,
people are voiceless,
their hands are bounded,
the disappearance is rampant,
I was but a boy.
Authorities are powerful,
they are great and mighty,
controlling the masses with an iron hand!
Streets are littered with blood,
among the dead patriot, they are loved,
the placard reads "Dictatorship!"
I was playing while they are dying,
their dark protest grumbling on the streets,
nationwide I heard on the boob tube!
The marching of peasants and farmers,
unheard heroes of the land, they are martyrs,
of sweat and blood, they are a sweet offering,
in the field, their bones and skulls were hidden!
In the factory workers belittle,
whose income as low as in the field of dreams!
The hero of the young minds was pestered,
the students were vexed, forcibly abandoned!
I was a boy who has a glimpse of dim,
that this nation is too depressed in grim!
