The Tolling Bells of Injustice

THE TOLLING BELLS OF INJUSTICE Today injustice runs wild where liberty once bloomed sweet flowers of liberty. Today rogue life hawkers like famished vampires roam child filled streets seeking desserts of red velvet blood of sable fruit to satisfy their fascistic appetite. Today we march to the sound of the death bells of justice--- oblivious that once tolled it cannot be undone: Today another strange fruit has been nipped in the bud; Today the tongue of the freedom bell has been eviscerated.
