Mob Justice

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" Martin Luther King.

Bang, bang,bang!

Shots fired in the air,

another soul left bare,

in a mob justice warfare,

people flee the scene in a scare.

We all wanted justice,

for this notorious thief,

who spent his life,

stealing from us,

and being destructive.

But we didn't see this coming,

when he pleaded us crying,

for forgiveness of all his wrongs,

we ignored his loud wailing,

and chose to punish him instead.

The stones we threw,

as we were in pursue,

of the phone he took,

from his victim who,

was unknowingly new,

to the world of pickpockets.

The silence was deafening,

as he lied there dying,

his life we stole,

for a phone he stole.

If we only knew,

that it would turn to this,

we would have let it slide,

but we took the bait,

and his life we slayed,

his blood was on our hands,

and we're no better than him.
