Self-Interest

product of butchered philosophy

men must suffer at the hands of those distracted

by their thirst for their self interest  

punishment is dealt at the request of politics

radical voices

which are silenced by the liberty bred into the rebel

who too fought against crimes

seeking refuge in a new land

but would not allow refuge to those

who suffered at the hands of their destruction
