how the streets cry out

Oh, how the streets cry out "injustice"! from the ground righteous blood cries out In the ashpit we cry out "violence"! our throats are sore from the way we shout. The fastest have not won the race, the wise haven`t regaled in power. A poor man rides the rich mans horse the prince has languished in the tower. Look! The courts have changed their name from courts of justice to courts of law The scales of justice have lost their balance and tipped the contents on the floor. Oh, how the streets cry out "injustice"! The world is filled with a deafening roar. In the ashpit we cry out "violence"! But resolve in our hearts to add no more.
