The murderers

The rapists

The exploiters

The predators

They often get away

Smiling and laughing

As they watch and help the world burn

Bringing to earth hell’s vision

Ave Maria

Where is the justice in this world?

The wicked make so much noise, Mother

While the righteous stay oddly still

With no wisdom

All the riches in the world

Leave us poor tonight

We cry out for those

Who will speak for the voiceless

To shield the defenseless

To shelter the powerless

Ave Maria

Gratia plena

Full of grace

We need all of it
