Injustice is a catalyst to human suffering
For we are subjected to the yearning maw of persecution
Innocence shot down in cold blood
Their life meaningless in the eyes of the wolves
Broken, afraid; scared for their lives
The hunt has begun, the fist of iron strikes down
Shards of lead pierce the flesh
Souls crying for mercy; unheard
“I can’t breathe” he cries
As the life leaves his eyes
Ravenous boar tearing into flesh
Silencing all signs of life
Judge and jury; execution
No longer protect and serve
Murderous enforcers
No mercy; no grace
No justice for the meek
KILLING IN THE NAME OF THE LAW
Power hungry
Overstepping
A lesson in violence
A display of domination
No remorse
No regret
A bleeding of souls
No compassion in their eyes
No knock raids
Execution at the pistol’s end
No mercy
A grave for the law abiding
Compliance
In exchange for your life
Follow the rules
Or your death; justified
Violence unprovoked
Desecration of rights
No justice, no peace
The raw end of a gun
The yearning maw of persecution
Bloodthirsty hounds going for the throat
No peace of mind when you’ve fallen to the hunt
Against the iron curtain, with a boot on your neck
