Pause

Let us give a pause

For those who alone and without cause

Have lost their lives in times past

When evil stalked the land

Seeking out only the most vulnerable man

For his very life to snuff out

Alone while filled with fear and doubt

Alone at some wretched moment and date

Alone against some virulent hate

Alone without ally to rescue him from fate

Alone without love or pity for pity’s sake

Alone where coming of Justice would be too late

Gone, Gone, Gone

Into cold and cruel death throngs

But here let a memory linger on

The realization of his struggle let us all own

And in his honor let us strive

So that a Justice cannot be denied

To another’s hand

When evil stalks the land

To remove the Human Rights of a man
