A fortnight today,
they will rationalize their actions –
‘Keeping the Peace’
and forget what they did.
There was no CLAMP DOWN!
A fortnight today,
their victims would still reminisce;
their ordeal they’ll pass on from

say it once, say it again and again, and

it seems we have succeeded over this failure –
Truth has lost faith in itself.
There was no CLAMP DOWN! There was a CLAMP DOWN!
