Persecution
Living under clouds so grey
Hounded, sought out every day
Oppressed, harassed and haunted too
Victimised by vicious few
Bullies rife that persecute
Their words and actions bullets shoot
For by the deeds of tyranny
Free speech suppressed kills liberty
Persecution – devil’s scorn
Hands of torture never mourn
Or care for how they hound and hunt
Their plague strikes down, their malice blunt
And lives destroyed; taken too soon
Sun stifled by the bloody moon
That comes in stealth with heartless strife
And suffocates to end all life
