Analysis of Spoiled Fruit
Purplish-red in my mind's-eye the bruise
Yea, Liberty she's called, but we all lose.
Forward turn wheels she's tipping the balance
Yea, Justice for all, she's blinded by trance.
Survivors are slipping through cracks and creeping,
And ever more virulent their prose,
Exponentially they spread their horrifying dread,
Watch as the spoiled fruit grows.
