Times That Try

These days shall be remembered, not for what
Are the errors of our generation, but for
The lies of the few who held high office in
Times of greed, fear, and utter desperation.
That we were so deceived, and did not
Try all means to demand justice in the face of vaunted
Men’s unjust treatment of the powerless, our 
Souls cry out to our children for redemption.
