The Guilt of the Blameless

…When they came…
We knew their fame… knew their names,  knew their games,
When they rigged…when they lied…when they schemed
…and we were silent…

Were we blind? Were we deaf? Were we dumb?
When they forged…when they looted, when they stole
…and we were silent…

We heard the screams…saw the blood…felt the loss
When they r.aped…when they shot, when they killed,
…and we were silent…

Why then do we rage, rant and rave and write of rights in wars of words?
When we knew what we knew of whom we knew…
…and we were silent…
