protection rackets milking
own minority ethnicity
dirty thumbs hands in every
baked pie stealing living
an eye for an eye enforcing
seized city blocks extorting
gangster mobs red neck towns
division bells misfortune wells
rats run in packs fear divide victims
sliver silence stand lone heroes
against gangs last as grim lessons
gang rule racket mobs terror values

A brilliant poem dear poet.... appreciated the essence of this poem.
The poem was part of a series of poems probing the exploitation of suffering in society, which was left forgotten at the time of writing.
