Massacre In Balibo

by Stealth - Sagittarius

Massacre In Balibo

In the greatest genocide, since the Nazi holocaust
with the failure of Australia, and the UK to intervene
Suharto decided, to continue his invasion
and the massacre in Balibo, was bloody obscene

Eight hundred troops, swept through the village
October the sixteenth, nineteen seventy five
five young journalists, met the knife and the bullet
no news would escape, if they did'nt survive

With the two hundred thousand, deaths that followed
Indonesia the great ally, could not be criticised
East Timor could be their's, to do what they will
they were condoned to torture, to murder, and chastise

With governmental licenses, to arm to the teeth
with stun guns, and batons, and BAE Hawks
this empire of oppression, with an arsenal of death
created a land, where no free person walks
