A deep rage bristles across decades
A Rancid
Repugnant
Monument to injustice
Forgiveness dwells in sand castles
Held in contempt
On the shores
Of toxic seas
Corrosive
To the corroded
As the voices of innocents
Are muffled
In the ether of niceties
And the minds of innocents
Are tormented
By the prod of an unshakeable offense
Languishing
Under its unrelenting legacy
Arrest them
Arrest them all
Accountability and fitting retribution
Are ingredients of redemption
Of a Peace and Justice:
Inextricable
