Indignation
Man hides behind the things they preach
The final answer beyond their reach
Is it necessary, contemporary?
For man to fight man, be an adversary.
We preach and teach, yet do we learn
The severity of pride, and not of discern
To have the gift of strength for peace
To stop and think of freedom’s release.
We stand in Judgement of all that is wrong
The dispassionate man is vehemently strong
The pain we feel is not our own
It decides, survives, then multiplies.
Some may learn, and some may not
Did Salam really have its lot?
We mask ourselves in a cloak of despair
Content in denial, appeased with no care.
Our feelings receptive of fear’s ugly truth
Ignorance and choice, innocence of youth
We soldier on in this oblivious age
The earth’s very core is seething with rage
The perception of deception,
The opinion of the dominion
Hypocrisy, bureaucracy, and truth.
