Mob in action passions in motion
civic pride gets satisfied.
Court in session come to disorder.
Let the guilty step forward prove what they can
let the victims rejoice to redress their grievance.
Now soldiers tremble
no orders today
for once we the people will have our way.
Bring forth the condemned whose number is up
let the jury’s fury hold sway.
The guilty kneel their heads shorn and pale
then doused with gasoline are contritely burned.
Resolve melts away
seared animals howl.
We take satisfaction.
Their pain is testament to their guilt
their charcoaled flesh conclusive proof
crime is a point of view
held by the many against the few.
