and so I await the trial        my peers
weigh the salt and the sand    they demand
        retribution    restitution    prosecution    prostitution
        revolutions  conclusions  resolutions  persecutions
tirades parades manmade palisades prayed Hades evade charades
while humanity erupts chaos stored righteous reluctant wrath
    ordained orchestrated before its Creation before all collapsed

        morality  duality  structure  culture  deepens love of sin
        against self  against God  against mind  against victims
  homeless children helpless women hopeless men        Jesus weeps
Jerusalem  before destruction corruption baseless hatred takes over
                        empire of sorrow no one listens or cares
drumbeats repercussin’ innocence now approved guilty hung jury
                  anthem    scapegoats    sheep    everywhere
