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
