Desperation
by
J. M. Hallett
D esperate, this situation
I n which we are mired:
C ourt appointed hawks with
K ingly, covetous desires.
C old hearted, these villains,
H opelessly criminal, their reign.
E ach new scheme so
N asty, so completely insane.
E ach one so misguided, it
Y ields misery and pain.
G enerous only to those
E vil like themselves.
O ffering power and
R iches, yes, fabulous wealth.
G iving them our resources,
E ven our forests so green,
W hile millions suffer and die
B eneath their war machine.
U nder their iron-fisted rule, we
S urely can’t survive. We MUST
H asten to regain our will to survive.
