Beliefs Can Be Built On Simple Ideas

Beliefs are placed above
all other feeble things;
beliefs can be built on single ideas
that won't disappoint those alive
who are constantly hoping to gain...
while they wait for a possible ban.

Beliefs have guided Humankind
and sacrifices have proved
how insignificant prospectives
became luminous insights
for some desperate spirits
so thirsty for denied rights.

Beliefs can be built on simple ideas
and on the strength of honest individuals;
would life be still livable bearing a denied justice
and crimes that are an abomination to the conscience?
