Marauders Iii
They say
We mustn't talk
Or it will be an offence
But I'll talk
I'll go me to the parapet
Shout with my megaphone
And talk loud for the world
To hear; Those who compare
The killings then and now
Are culpable as the perpetrators
Those who keep quiet
In the face of evil
Are themselves evil
For our silence benefits the wicked.
