I cryH2199 outH2199 to You, “ViolenceH2555!” Yet You do 2not saveH3467.3WhyH4100 do You makeH7200 me 3seeH7200 disasterH205, And make me lookH5027 at destitutionH5999? Yes, 4devastationH7701 and violenceH2555 are beforeH5048 me; 5StrifeH7379 existsH1961 and contentionH4066 arisesH5375.4ThereforeH5921H3651 the 6LawH8451 7is ignoredH6313, And justiceH4941 8is neverH3808H5331 upheldH3318.
