Phillip Timothy\u2019s monument
\nlies hidden behind
\na fence spiked with needle-sharp iron grids
\nthat sew holes in our memories.
\nThrough these, the events of May 29th 1979 tumble
\nand disappear in the garbage of time\u2026<\/p>\n
Gagged, we shout no more.
\nCrippled, we march no more.
\nBetrayed, we rise up no more,
\nfor fear that our lives will be gazetted
\nin the mist of spent bullets,
\nengraved on a faded revolutionary mural,
\non Government\u2019s Treasury – untreasured building!<\/p>\n
Three Walls:<\/p>\n
a wordless slab
\na spiked fence
\nand a page of faded militancy.<\/p>\n
