Who Gave The Order

Who gave the order,
the order to kill,
a man in his prime
for daring to rise
from his knees?


For daring to
free his land from
a tyrants cruel hand?


For the crime of
uniting a nation,
so all would
stand together as one?


When the deed was done...


Tell me you
who gave the order,
the order to kill
another good man?


Did you smile,
while millions cried?
