pray to God for a job, <br />work for milk, a loaf of bread. <br />trade your bodies for a tent, <br />leave your pride for the dead. <br /> <br />forget the things you were taught, <br />ball your fists and fight like hell. <br />just remember you were there, <br />when justice died and freedom fell! <br /> <br />and the hands on the clock <br />crawl like justice spurned..... <br />tick tock, tick tock, <br />mercy gives what mercy earns!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mercy-5-2/
