The Madcap

Killers

Murderous thugs
Roaming through the cityscape
Eyes seeking out the weak
Looking for trouble
Nothing in their useless lives
Of any value
Nothing but violence
Their only recreation

Someday in the future
Their names will be plastered
Upon the billboards
Near their neighborhoods
Pariahs, they will be
Rejected, convicted, punished
By a system with no forgiveness
For treason

Take their names, their images
Their identities will be known
Do not forget their hatred
Their abuses to be remembered
And never to be forgotten
These killers of our freedom
Will have their own removed
Finally, our sweet revenge

Never forget…

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
