The ethics of duplicity,
the killing on trial
One law for the criminal,
one law for the child
The electric chair savage,
womb ****** refined
Academia, the father and mother
of crime
To lie when convenient,
truth’s babies to cry
An Einstein, a Lister, a Shakespeare,
denied
Through dark inhumanity,
their spirits to roam
Living deep in our consciousness
—our souls theirs to own
