I know I should be working on my other stories, but the Epic and Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandoms have me distracted.
Just a little one-shot for Barricade day. Enjoy!
For some reason they take away my line spaces. :P. So now instead of stanzas its one big mess.
Disclaimer:I don't own Les Miserables
They thought they could change the world
with their honeyed words and red banner to follow
They believed they could change the world
Take away the pain and sorrow
They said they could change the world
They preached to the poor and hungry
"Come with us and we will change the world" They called
At least they could change the country.
That day on the scarlet barricade when they were asked
"Why?"
"Because we need to change the world,"
They let their crimson banner fly.
Then the storm with hail of bullets
and thundering roars of gunshots that were hurled
They didn't care for the risks, the foolish students they were
They knew they were changing the world.
Then they were drowning in blood
blood as red and ruby as the noble flag that fell
eyes reflecting the starry sky above
The next morning, there were no mourning bells.
But in death they were victorious
The horizon painted like the drowned flag that lay unfurled
lips curled upward facing the dawn
Because they did change the world
