The Never-Minders

"...The poor people's silence..."

This crisis has crippled life,
a clear definition of strife.

The poor people's silence
versus a death sentence.

Heartbreaking circus,
morons' sole focus.

They cling for years,
never mind our tears.

Thugs -- damn and damn,
even trees know them.

Wish they had a little soul,
now it's the end of the hole.
