Unheard Voices
Poor elite creatures of doom
How do your obscure thoughts assess words of sanity?
Conspiring judgement with fierce antagonists;
Not at all willing to nullify such bizarre notions;
Arresting the indignation of solemn assemblies;
Murdering the hopes of bereaved mortals;
Depriving the commoner of a fair amount of latitude;
Approving fallacy on the council of fools.
Is this injustice the resolution to a weakened rat race?
The light of cosmos has bid farewell to the eyes of men;
A petrifying situation with imperceivable unravelment.
Though there is always possibility in the heart of man,
The strength to fight lies in the willingness to oppose.
A persistent spirit always fosters the greatness it utters.
In this contention for marbles,
The wrong may prevail but the right is always the hero.
