And If It All Should End In Flame

This dream was not mine from the beginning, For others wiser, reasoning, adept Dared move beyond their allotted space To question why injustice continue On a-pace, simply because it has been Accepted fait accompli far too long. "We stole nothing; beneficiaries In passivity is not criminal." Power acquired at victim's expense Is not readily surrender'd without More than an equally compelling force. Wrong be made right by those willing to fight, Not with aggression -- conscience appeal If flame ends all, was TRUTH the worthy cause?
