Toothless Bandits
Play hard,
the toothless bandits are at it again.
they have no teeth,
yet bite the hardest.
serial larcenists,
squelching through town,
robbing the honey,
subverting the hives.
at gunpoint,
they silence us.
we play hard,
they play even harder.
in the tripod of power,
they're revered highly.
'distinguished' and 'honourable,'
titles that enable them.
they excavate,
the remains of our land,
stripping us of all,
leaving us bereft of hope.
this toothless bandits,
in this rocky shores,
have hearts dead to pity.
