More Than 400 Years

So much of what they value
Is dissentegrating.
So much self-righteousness they knew
Is being dissolved in public view!
Overnight their pay back is coming due!
And they can't look down their noses to snub
Or grind their heels into backs of begging bums!
These scenes ignored soon to them will come!
And it will take more than 400 years...
For them to understand,
What their ignorance has done!
