if you make some.
Go and make some

though they drank the sweat of oppression and consumed the suffering of others,
and though avarice–unchecked by humanity–ran like golden blood through their veins.
Though they blocked the very view of Liberty–still we mourn their downfall,
for they were our monsters, our giants, our golia… Continue
