Crisis of Conscience

Crisis of Conscience

When we jail the exposer of crimes

rather than

the criminals themselves...

We are facing a

crisis of conscience

When we silence the suffering

of the vulnerable

and invent lies to protect

the sins of the greedy...

We are facing a

crisis of conscience

When we allow the poisoners

of our Earth to prosper and

horde wealth

instead of serving the

needs of the collective...

We are facing a

crisis of conscience

When we willfully ignore

the evidence and

mechanisms of injustice...

We are facing a

crisis of conscience

When we accept, in spite

of our ability to choose,

that life is unfair...

We no longer have

a conscience
