Nanjing Massacre 12/13/1937

Things that happened fester in the past

Death and its inevitable grip troubles many.

Helplessness, Unwillingness, Indignation occupy the mind.

After one Massacre, far more people will languish in pain than the dead

But the “lucky” survivors will live in a maudlin environment for years,

Sometimes choosing to leave to meet their loved ones in the shadow lands.

After one Massacre, far more people will languish in pain than the dead

What can they do? Bite down hard and embrace the

Things that happened, festering in the past.
