You should have known

Do you hear their voices calling?
Calling out for blood this morning,
For years we have borne all in silent pain,
For years we have suffered,
Now is your time to pay,
A pound of flesh for every insult heaped,
If it were you,
Even your whole body would not be enough to reap,
What you have sown,
The trees of hatred and discord have grown,
Are you surprised?
Don't be,
For all this chaos,
It's the consequences,
Of what you have done to us,
You should have known,
YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
