Calling out for justice
Doctrine of the damned
And unforgiving


Fall




Sequestered

Hidden from prying hands

Gaping mouths
Calling out for justice

Doctrine of the damned
And unforgiving

While the sounds of
Rusty claw hammers
Strike the gallows nail

And deaths craftsmen
Fashions Hemp noose

The sand bags being the first victim
Of this short and subtle descent

Snapping and falling dead
Taught lines proving
Morbid efficiency

And the crowds
Begin to gather
