Limited Shelf Life
Contemporary hunters wielding 21st century weapons of influence
Firing indiscreetly upon blindfolded hostages that double as their clients
Mutilating their customer case before gutting them with ease
once they're expendable
Feasting upon the impoverished entrails
until there is not a shred of identifiable human flesh
Disturbingly convenient as it is prevalent
Once the remains cannot be recognized as human,
there is no chance, not even a miniscule possibily, of retribution
There is no face and no conscious voice
to demand justice for countless grievances
The corpses sink into the Earth where they
are subjected to further degradation
Posthumously polluted with the toxicity emanating from murderous mouths
