When a Great Man Dies

In the night of cold-blooded cleansing He sacrificed his life in the name of homeland We remained silent in empty stares Realizing his blood spilled over the ground Bereft of words by violent shades Of a salient moment of life Lost the faith by lucid dreams Of a salient moment of death Not far behind our barren rice fields Where the flag solemnly raised He settled all his wise thoughts Among the nefarious traitors The homeland was once united in peace Where all the birds can fly in freedom Until the sheep's clothing sloughed Revealing the wolves of death Your thoughts and wisdom forever stand Your warm embrace forever remains
