Let them sit there
quietly steeping in their own cowardice
so that history may know them
as traitors to the dream
Let them carry forever
the stain of their inaction
complicit in their silence
that brought our worst fears to life
Let them watch
while the people who have seen
the consequence of neglect
rise up emboldened with the duty
of securing their freedoms
