2050

Rubble of a vanquished race People recoil from the truth Peace on earth goodwill to men We did not know how Hate became a way of life Vitriol running rampant Strike down the opposition Crucify the man Destruction by our own hand We gave away our freedom We did not lift up our voice No one left to blame Bob Quigley Sept 16, 2011
