Burning down the peace- Poem
Burning down the Peace
By:Steph Rodriguez
Men dressed all in black
Burning down the peace
Flooded with anger, and the atrocious angel attack
Telegraph lines and our christian missions harmed
Burning down the peace
The Empress, who ruled for the people
Using the Boxers for her own gain
Which she bestowed upon us all evil
look in their eyes was the look of the devil
Burning down the peace
Men dressed all in black
The Righteous and Harmonious Militia
Tarring tightly together as if a wolf pack
Fifty Six long days, many dead in the night
Harmed 'cause of this treacherous terrible fight
Burning down the peace
