pieces of people trying

beggar's hands beseech

fingernails that screech

the blackboard of conscience

pieces of people dying

skeletons of white

children's fingers write

in sands of despair

pieces of people frying

legs attempt to run

air raid has begun

collateral damage

pieces of people flying

arms outstretched again

find a different vein

and rise to Heaven

pieces of people crying

eyes that see the waste

lips that kiss the taste

of Mother's teardrops

pieces of people buying

corporation law

rape the public whore

and smirk a blessing

pieces of people lying

mouths that vow solution

store-bought elocution

to sell our future

pieces of people sighing

chests that heave despairing

hearts of oak are tearing

in futile protest
