black man, white man, <br />ground beneath their feet. <br />families carrying guns and Bibles, <br />living on the street. <br /> <br />rich man, well hid, <br />cocktails made of blood and oil. <br />tyranny, mass slavery, <br />bodies buried, American soil. <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-2-2/
