The Sinking Boat of Justice
>>>>
Lies,
Mercilessly shoved down our
throats,
Injustice,
A word lowered into deep waters,
on sinking boats,
Fear,
The gunpowder of a destructive
weapon,
Fake smiles,
Pretending to reassure, a job for the
hosts,
The truth,
Is only whispered by transparent
ghosts,
Rogue voices,
Continue to shout, while scarred
hands continue to bail,
Freedom,
Was never in speech, but in silent
blackmail,
Abused power,
Is the hole we fail to see, let alone
fix.
