May 4, 1970

Love they say
Is the only way
Defient they stand
The peace sign in one hand
In the other lies the brick
While they chant - "Hypocrite!"

Emotions rise
Mob increases size

Tear gas flows
Panic grows

Rifles flash
Students dash

Smoke of battle clears
Shock to silent tears

Four lie dead
Dropped by soldier's lead

As in the past
Love did not last

And love we mock
'Till dies the "Hawk"
