History in Denial

 

General Franco is to be exhumed and his body removed

for years his statues have been argued over and often approved

Streets bearing his name now have new and different names

and so the politicians play their deceitful games

 

This handiwork is for the sake of distraction

to divert away attention in another direction

A failing economy with chaos can now be easily ignored

as Franco´s opponents and supporters raise their roars

 

Good and bad share their place in the history of all nations

shame and achievements are their clear manifestations

Let Franco and Robert E Lee stay on their horses

and those who write history remain and join forces
