Who's Defeated? Poem by Brent Rogers

You! Who can't command, only gain by force!
Only false pleasure do you achieve, no inner power source
Weakness oozes out for everyone to see
You let others control you, willing to pay their fee

Your life is not your own, you gave it all away
Stealing any sense of fortitude and peace, from whomever you may
Cower in your failure, unable to produce
Any sense of independence, you hung your soul inside a noose

Ogres have no feelings, they hunt just to survive
They never lost what they once had, or resorted to connive
Continue on protecting your mind you let them numb
And watch us all your "victims" above you overcome!
