The protests lasted over a month; the massacre ended them in a flood of state-sponsored murder.
…I wonder if there’s a Chinese equivalent of CSNY who wrote a song about Tiananmen Square..?
Never paid much mind to the second line, seeing it in writing is somehow so much more chilling.
The sense of resignation, the combination of slaughter and starting a long-overdue chore.
How indeed? Beyond chilling.
