Justice They Cry!

i have stomached
dog legged views
justice they cry!
but if only they knew
they are gullible inside
and with no desire to look
they treat headlines
like an absolute truth
they bite the stale worm
on the rusty hook
justice they cry!
without knowing the result
or even the score
you find them mad
and curled up on the floor
they look to the ground
and sniff the dirt
they have smeared on their face
with warlike tendency 
they abandon humanity and grace
they speak of rage
and an inner pain
justice they cry!
as they board the gravy train
