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"
