In Remembrance of December 4th the day the ceo died

[Beachnutt]

Remember, remember the fourth of December, The fallout, the glee, the shot. For corporate blame, or public shame, Some say it was justice, some not.

Deny, defend, the bullets did send A message that shook the board. But what of the lives, the pleas, the cries, That systems too often ignored?

But in shadowed halls, where silence calls, A vigilante took their stand. With steady aim, they played the game, A reckoning wrought by their hand.

The policies signed, by greed aligned, Denied care to those in despair. But their power waned, as blood now stained The concrete at the shareholders door.

The assassin’s creed, born of need, Was justice served with steel. To topple the throne, expose the bone, Of a system that couldn’t feel.

13. Vigilantism by any other name ...

Is still vigilantism.

Revenge and honor killings, the same.

Every tear in the warp and woof of society weakens its fabric--both cohesion, legal framework, moral framework. Soon all that's left is tinder.
