Northeast Asian Lament

How can it be that ancient voices
Even now tell us who to hate,
Old memories coloring our choices,
Bad history slime-sealing our fate.

Our future is a distorted thing,
Cursed by Siberian graves,
And corpses in Nanking --
Usually time heals and saves,
But for us, it does no such thing.
