Unsheathed awareness – the greatest of threats
to those who betray the oppressed.
Learn of the nine thousand – be ye aware –
whence cometh their recent despair!!
Invest – in Kids told to fold –
was killed with nine thousand enrolled –
and ten thousands more waiting in line –
such injustice so cruelly unkind!
