violent echos rage

violent echos rage
despairing tears down my face
stories retold survey
bloody thursday
the pain
the shock
the anger
the fear
the betrayal
the silence

the silence that roars
a revolution
calling liberty
calling justice
calling freedom
ever calling
all who will listen

those who have ears
let them hear
those who have eyes
let them see
the unjust cannot hide
the wicked cannot hide

their shame
of rape
of torture
of murder
of brutality

their dark hearts
confuse greed
as light
as wealth
as righteousness

they oppress
the weak
the poor
the blind
the old
the infant
the young
themselves

this is their fault
this is their weakness
this is their demise
this is their blindness

self-treachery
they stumble about
already defeated
as they rush to their fall
