and its profit<br \/>\nAnd more and more will fall<br \/>\nFoul of this atrocity<br \/>\nFuelled by the money trail<br \/>\nThe non attachment of the truth<br \/>\nBehold that horse is

corruption seemingly<br \/>\nHas its place in the human mind<br \/>\nAnd perhaps as a permanency<\/p>\n<p>The mortality is growing<br \/>\nIts significance is too<br \/>\nThe suddenness of slaughter<br \/>\nIs cursory yet true<br \/>\nThese intrusions into nature<br \/>\nAre ill-omened and they do<br \/>\nCause fear and such confusion<br \/>\nThe regularity<br \/>\nPrescriptive
