Hồ Chí Minh was no liberator.
Hồ Chí Minh sold his country out for a handful of silver
He saw his name in lights and built his legacy on a river of unnecessary deaths
His was pushing the boundary of anticolonial violence in the service of his own aggrandizement
Death to the son of a bitch
and death to those who claim that political legitimacy
comes from the man with a rifle
Quiescence is not measured in calibers
Violence fractures a peoples
One day our voices shall be heard
And all will remember that it was never a crime
to reject your glory.
