EoW (9) Conflict Brian Strand, sponsor
time marches on reality's fire consumes— dreams go up in smoke Dishonest weights, deceptive scales forsake as chains of injustice rake the flesh of the preyed-upon bleeding, amid wild wolves feeding, soft sheep bleating, protestor's pleading, jurisdictions cheating, cajoling, wheedling, injustice repeating— jurisprudence at the confluence of affluence and influence ~undocumented lies exhumed unmitigated truth entombed~ They have their thumb on the scale! We have sussed every detail on the field of debris, some so fiercely taking a knee, others shot trying to flee! "I can't breathe," "I don't care!" Why don't they care? Of what justice is meting beware! One higher than the highest is watching, waiting to signal the one riding to conquer and complete his conquest. What's the true future view? What more can we do before we become past tense? tragedies worldwide flooding my senses daily— fill my bag of tears
