How can you fail<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 to hear the cries<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in the street?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps drowned out<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 by the raillery<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of your incessant deceit?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Steered like a rampaging herd<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 of frightened cows,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 whom hang upon your every word<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 and believe your hollow vows.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While you embroider and embrangle\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 those whom you claim to represent<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 slowly strangle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Give me your tired, <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 your weary, your weak,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and show them to the back of the bus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obstruct their god-given<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 right to speak;<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 though they speak <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 for every one of us.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For all those, <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 whom you choose to ignore,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 whose voice does not count<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 for you anymore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And, for this,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 your hateful campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 has now become<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 an irremovable stain.<\/strong><\/p>\n
